To increase labour market participation among migrants, an increase in female labour market participation is important, with wages being a significant incentive. In research on the gender wage gap, the consideration of housework has been a milestone. Gender differences in housework time have always been much greater among migrants than among native-born individuals. Based on data obtained from the German Socio-Economic Panel from 1995 to 2017, this study questioned whether housework affects the wages of migrant full-time workers differently than those of their native-born counterparts. To consider the possible endogeneity of housework in the wage equation, the analysis estimated, in addition to an OLS model, a hybrid model to estimate within effects. Significant negative effects of housework on wages resulted for migrant women and native-born individuals. The effects for migrant men were significantly smaller or insignificant, which could not be explained by threshold effects. The greater amount of time spent on housework by migrant women than by native-born women will in general lead to a larger wage decrease due to housework for migrant women than for native-born women. The results further showed that the observed variables explained very little of the migrants’ gender wage gap, in contrast to the gap of native-born individuals. Human capital returns, including education and work experiences, were much lower for migrant women than for native-born women, whereas differences in housework equally contributed to the explained share of the gap for both groups, indicating the greater relevance of housework for migrants’ wage gap.

家务劳动对工资的影响:德国移民和出生于当地的人的研究

为了增加移民中的劳动力市场参与度,增加女性劳动力市场参与度很重要,工资是重要的诱因。在性别工资差距研究中,考虑家务劳动是一个里程碑。移民中家务劳动时间的性别差异一直比本地出生的人大得多。根据1995年至2017年从德国社会经济专家小组获得的数据,该研究质疑家务劳动对移民全职工人工资的影响是否与其本地出生的同业工人不同。为了考虑工资方程中家务的可能内生性,除OLS模型外,该分析还估算了一种混合模型,以估计影响范围。家务劳动对工资产生了显着的负面影响,对移徙妇女和当地出生的个人造成了影响。对移民男子的影响要小得多或微不足道,这不能用阈值效应来解释。一般而言,移民妇女花在做家务上的时间要多于土著妇女,这将导致由于移民而做家务的工资下降幅度要大于土著妇女。结果还表明,与本地出生的人的差距相反,观察到的变量几乎不能解释移民的性别工资差距。移徙妇女的人力资本回报,包括教育和工作经验,比土著妇女低得多,而家务劳动的差异同样有助于解释这两组差距的原因,
