Although marriage migration is an important route for immigration to Western Europe, little is known about how it is associated with the labour market trajectories of the minority populations involved. Using longitudinal population registry data on residents from a non-Western migrant background in Norway, this study compares the employment and earnings of those who ‘marry back home’, with those who find a spouse among Norwegian residents with the same national origin background. Following individuals up to 10 years before and after their first marriage (279,527 observations between 1993 and 2010), distributed fixed effects estimations suggest that the labour market trajectory is weaker in the years after marriage for those who have married marriage migrants, albeit the differences are small for men. For women from the first generation, marrying a marriage migrant is associated with lower employment and earnings, progressively declining with time. For women from the second generation, this relative decrease only holds for the labour earnings of employed women. Supplementary analyses indicate that the falling labour market trajectories of women marrying marriage migrants are related to lower educational attainment, higher fertility and stronger associations between motherhood and the labour market.

婚姻移民与挪威第一代和第二代移民的经济轨迹

尽管婚姻移民是移民到西欧的重要途径，但人们对其与所涉少数民族劳动力市场轨迹的关系知之甚少。本研究使用挪威非西方移民背景居民的纵向人口登记数据，比较了“回家”的人和在具有相同国籍背景的挪威居民中找到配偶的人的就业和收入。追踪第一次婚姻前后长达 10 年的个体（1993 年至 2010 年间的 279,527 次观察），分布式固定效应估计表明，已婚移民的劳动力市场轨迹在婚后几年较弱，尽管差异是小男人。对于第一代的女性来说，与结婚移民结婚与较低的就业和收入有关，随着时间的推移逐渐减少。对于第二代女性来说，这种相对下降仅适用于就业女性的劳动收入。补充分析表明，与结婚移民妇女结婚的劳动力市场轨迹下降与较低的教育程度、较高的生育率以及母性与劳动力市场之间的关联性更强有关。
