The article examines the occupational mobility of immigrants in Italy in a double perspective. First, this work compares immigrants and natives in order to understand whether, and to what extent, in a country characterized overall by low social mobility, natives and migrants have the same chances for improving their social position, or the latter are disadvantaged on an ethnic basis that affects their career (research question 1). Then, the article investigates what are the factors (referring to immigrants’ human capital, socio-cultural assimilation process and ethnic network) fostering occupational mobility among immigrants (research question 2). We conduct an ordinary least squares analysis on microdata from two retrospective cross-sectional surveys, for natives and migrants, with the same sample design, questionnaire structure and variable classification, thereby allowing the comparison of results. The empirical findings confirm that intra-generational occupational mobility in Italy is overall very limited but that geographical origin is a significant factor influencing upward mobility. Thus, the existence of an ethnic penalty is confirmed. Furthermore, among migrants, high human capital improves (short-range) upward mobility, while the socio-cultural assimilation process only partly leads to economic assimilation. Conversely, the recourse to the ethnic network acts as a trap in low-qualified occupational careers, hindering an improvement of socio-economic position.

意大利劳动力市场中的种族歧视和职业流动

本文从双重角度考察了意大利移民的职业流动性。首先,这项工作比较了移民和原住民,以了解在一个总体上以低社会流动性为特征的国家中,原住民和移民是否有相同的机会改善自己的社会地位,或者在一个民族中处于弱势地位,以及在何种程度上影响他们职业的基础(研究问题1)。然后,本文研究了哪些因素(指移民的人力资本,社会文化同化过程和种族网络)促进了移民之间的职业流动(研究问题2)。我们使用相同的样本设计,对两个回顾性横断面调查(针对本地人和移民)的微观数据进行了普通最小二乘分析,问卷结构和变量分类,从而可以比较结果。实证结果证实,意大利的代际职业流动性总体上是非常有限的,但是地理起源是影响向上流动性的重要因素。因此,确认了种族惩罚的存在。此外,在移民中,高人力资本提高了(短期)向上流动性,而社会文化同化过程仅部分导致经济同化。相反,诉诸族裔网络成为低资格职业生涯的陷阱,阻碍了社会经济地位的提高。实证结果证实,意大利的代际职业流动性总体上是非常有限的,但是地理起源是影响向上流动性的重要因素。因此,确认了种族惩罚的存在。此外,在移民中,高人力资本提高了(短期)向上流动性,而社会文化同化过程仅部分导致经济同化。相反,诉诸族裔网络成为低资格职业生涯的陷阱,阻碍了社会经济地位的提高。实证结果证实,意大利的代际职业流动性总体上是非常有限的,但是地理起源是影响向上流动性的重要因素。因此,确认了种族惩罚的存在。此外,在移民中,高人力资本提高了(短期)向上流动性,而社会文化同化过程仅部分导致经济同化。相反,诉诸族裔网络成为低资格职业生涯的陷阱,阻碍了社会经济地位的提高。而社会文化同化过程仅部分导致经济同化。相反,诉诸族裔网络成为低资格职业生涯的陷阱,阻碍了社会经济地位的提高。而社会文化同化过程仅部分导致经济同化。相反,诉诸族裔网络成为低资格职业生涯的陷阱,阻碍了社会经济地位的提高。
