This article investigates the effects of female immigration to the Dominican Republic (DR)—most of which is from Haiti and of low-education levels—on the labor supply of native women. Using individual-level data for 2003–2016 and exploiting geographic variation in early immigrant settlements together with time variation in female immigration inflows, we find that female immigration has led to disparate outcomes across women of different education levels and family structures. In line with the evidence from developed countries, female immigration to the DR is associated with an increase in the hours worked by highly educated native women with family dependents (relative to equally educated women without dependents). However, for low-educated native women, female immigration is associated with a decrease in hours worked and in earnings. Our results underscore the importance of studying the disparate effects of migration on vulnerable groups in developing countries.

多米尼加共和国的南南移民和女性劳动力供应

本文调查女性移民到多米尼加共和国 (DR)（其中大部分来自海地且受教育程度低）对本土女性劳动力供应的影响。使用 2003-2016 年的个人数据，并利用早期移民定居点的地理差异以及女性移民流入的时间变化，我们发现女性移民导致不同教育水平和家庭结构的女性产生不同的结果。与发达国家的证据一致，女性移民到刚果民主共和国与受过高等教育的有家庭抚养的本土女性的工作时间增加有关（相对于受过同等教育但没有抚养的女性）。然而，对于受教育程度低的本土女性来说，女性移民与工作时间和收入的减少有关。
