Abstract This article studies the relationship between past immigration experiences of the host country and the way new immigrants enter the labor market. We focus on two countries—Finland and Sweden—that have similar formal institutions but starkly different immigration histories. In both countries, immigrants tend to find their first jobs in low-paying establishments, where the manager and colleagues share their ethnic background. The associations between background characteristics, time to a first job, other entry job characteristics, earnings dynamics, and job stability are also remarkably similar. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the host country’s immigration history plays a limited role in shaping the integration process.

移民历史、入境工作和移民的劳动力市场整合

摘要 本文研究了东道国过去的移民经历与新移民进入劳动力市场的方式之间的关系。我们关注两个国家——芬兰和瑞典——它们拥有相似的正式机构，但移民历史截然不同。在这两个国家，移民倾向于在低薪机构找到他们的第一份工作，那里的经理和同事共享他们的种族背景。背景特征、第一份工作的时间、其他入职工作特征、收入动态和工作稳定性之间的关联也非常相似。这些结果与东道国的移民历史在塑造融合过程中发挥有限作用的假设是一致的。
