Using microdata from the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) and aggregate indicators of labour market institutions, this article compares the job quality of native and non-native workers across European countries and analyses the impact of the institutional settings on the job quality differential between both groups. The LFS is used to measure a job quality index for the period 2005–2017. We find that some immigrant groups fare worse than natives, the contribution of the “composition effect” to explain this differential is large, and the institutional framework affects the immigration gap in job quality. In particular, some labour market institutions (more centralized wage bargaining, stricter employment protection legislation) tend to be detrimental for immigrants relative to natives, while integration policies seem to work well in reducing these differences.

美国和他们：欧洲本地人和移民之间的工作质量差异

本文利用欧盟劳动力调查（EU-LFS）的微观数据和劳动力市场制度的综合指标，比较了欧洲各国本地和非本地工人的工作质量，并分析了制度设置对工作质量的影响两组之间的差异。LFS 用于衡量 2005-2017 年期间的工作质量指数。我们发现，一些移民群体的情况比本地人差，“构成效应”对解释这种差异的贡献很大，制度框架影响移民在工作质量方面的差距。特别是，一些劳动力市场制度（更集中的工资谈判、更严格的就业保护立法）往往对移民相对于本地人不利，
