“…Having separate states instead would be more informative, but this would increase the size of the state space and as a consequence increase the number of model parameters and transition probabilities considerably, potentially leading to sparsity issues. Fourth, while we distinguish between gender and occupational category, several other variables important for labor market outcomes were not accounted for, such as migration status (Mooi-Reci and Muñoz Comet 2016).…”

non-manual jobs were less affected, while men working in unskilled manual jobs lost close to 14 years of working life expectancy. Women were less affected than men. With working life expectancy decreasing, the average proportion of lifetime spent in unemployment and outside the labor market increased markedly, whereas the average number of years spent in retirement changed only a little. When we decompose losses in working life expectancy by age group, we find that economic fluctuations affect both older and younger workers. This result suggests that policies that focus on retirement ages only are incomplete. We also compare our findings to the results obtained by Sullivans method, which is based on prevalence rates rather than the incidence-based working life table approach. We find that the use of Sullivans approach does not accurately reflect the levels of and the trends in working life expectancy.

“…During this period Spain was one of the countries with the largest immigration flows in the world. The 2008 Great Recession quite strongly affected the economic conditions of families of ethnic minority groups and some left the country (Mooi-Reci and Muñoz-Comet 2016). Yet, as shown in Figure 2, the share of minority students peaked at 12% by 2010.…”

“…They could relate to a limitation that we were not able to control for – some crucial migration-related variables such as language ability, migration motive or individual attitudes towards gender roles. Or, it is also possible that the remaining observed differences point at employers’ discriminatory behaviour towards immigrant women, especially during recessive economic times (Mooi-Reci and Muñoz-Comet, 2016) as well as indicating strong regulative forces preventing immigrant women, regardless of their educational level and previous professional experience, from entering more stable employment (Solé and Parella, 2003).…”

Using panel data from the Spanish Labour Force Survey (2008–2016), we explore the risks and opportunities of job transitions (to unemployment, inactivity, full-time work and promotion) of female immigrants and natives in part-time work. This is the first study examining the two possible functions of part-time employment (stepping stone or trap) for different types of women across different working time categories. It contributes to the ongoing discussion about the function of non-standard work by applying an intersectional lens. Our results confirm that the signalling of different types of part-time job works positively, although the signal is weaker for immigrant women, particularly for those working in marginal and substantial part-time employment. The main sociodemographic and structural drivers of labour transitions explain only partially the gross migrant–native differences. As female immigrants experience a stronger outsider position, additional determinants of signalling beyond human capital and labour market segmentation factors might be at work.
