“…From an empirical point of view, our study contributes to the growing literature on the labor market outcomes of highly skilled migrant women in Western societies (Kofman, 2000). The added value of our paper lies in the provision of insights on migrant women coming from a variety of countries (e.g., Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe) in male‐dominated sectors in a country (Italy) that is dealing with important socio‐economic challenges (e.g., increasing migration flows, slow recovery from the recent economic crisis, declining fertility rates, and high unemployment rates for young and skilled people) (Pagano, 2018). We thus provide in‐depth insights not only about the experiences lived by migrant women with a STEMM background in Italy, but also about how their experiences are structured within local macro contextual and organizational arrangements (Rodriguez et al., 2016).…”

“…In this context, women have found less paid, more precarious, deskilling jobs (Isaakyan & Triandafyllidou, 2016). In addition, Italy is among the top 10 countries that have an alarming imbalance between a shortage of skilled professionals in STEMM sectors and the overproduction of human capital in the social sciences, resulting in high unemployment rates, mismatch between available skills and jobs, brain waste, and dissatisfaction within the skilled labor market (Pagano, 2018). The number of outmigrants, especially among young people, has considerably increased since 2014 (ISMU, 2020).…”

“…Some academic literature refers to this group based on educational standards, namely, those immigrants with higher educational qualifications (i.e., at least with a BSc degree) or beyond. Various scholars have also identified the need to consider wages and past careers (Pagano 2018). In this article, we claim that the educational level of migrants influences their occupational status.…”

“…For this reason, the number of employment seekers from abroad amounts to hundreds of thousands each year (Chamaratana et al 2017). This trend has a profound impact on the nature of skilled immigrants, leading to the development of different forms and frameworks of the phenomenon, in that the demand for labour drives the increase in the pressure for skilled migration from developing to advanced countries (Pagano 2018).…”
