Occupational segregation in Spain: Differential treatment of immigrants

Abstract: Spain today faces simultaneously one of the world's largest immigrant populations and one of the highest unemployment rates. This difficult dilemma makes it a test case for how rich countries should deal with a surplus immigrant population. Do Spanish markets and policies make it more difficult to absorb immigrants? What policies could help? What are the consequences if the challenge is not faced successfully?This article focuses on the occupational segregation between Spanish and foreign workers. It explores … Show more

“…0.25 sex in the Spanish labour market typically intersects with other worker characteristics. In particular, immigrant workers present a high degree of occupational segregation, with a particularly strong impact on women from non-European countries, which often leads to social exclusion (del Río and Alonso-Villar, 2012 ;Farber and Allard, 2012). Although age and type of contract (permanent vs fixed term) do not introduce significant differences in terms of segregation, other variables such as sector of activity (public vs private), working time or educational attainment also tend to compound segregation (see figure 4).…”

“…La segregación laboral suele ir asociada a la precariedad y a condiciones de trabajo inferiores, y cabe señalar que en España este problema suele agravarse si la cuestión del género se combina con otras características de las trabajadoras. En particular, las migrantes están sometidas a mayor grado de segregación, sobre todo cuando se trata de mujeres de países no europeos, lo cual conduce con frecuencia a situaciones de exclusión social (Del Río y Alonso Villar, 2012 ;Farber y Allard, 2012). Si bien la edad y el tipo de contrato (indefinido o de duración determinada) no se asocian a diferencias significativas en términos de segregación, otras variables como el sector de actividad (público frente a privado), el tipo de jornada (a tiempo completo o a tiempo parcial) o el nivel de estudios también tienden a agravar el problema (véase el gráfico 4).…”

“…les autres caractéristiques des travailleurs. Ainsi, les immigrés connaissent un degré élevé de ségrégation professionnelle, avec des effets particulièrement marqués sur les femmes originaires des pays non européens et avec un fort risque d'exclusion sociale (del Río et Alonso-Villar, 2012 ;Farber et Allard, 2012). Bien que l'âge et le type de contrat (permanent ou temporaire) n'influent pas sur la ségrégation, il n'en va pas de même d'autres variables comme le secteur d'activité (public ou privé), la durée du travail ou le niveau d'instruction (voir figure 4).…”
