MIGRATION LABOR MARKET SKILLED LABOR LABOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS OF EDUCATION This letter examines the determinants of occupational autonomy and education-skill matches of immigrant workers in Germany. Their jobs are characterized by much lower autonomy than those of comparable natives and the immigrant penalty decreases only minimally over time. In contrast to wages, the difference between immigrants from advanced and non-advanced countries is small. But immigrants from advanced countries are much more likely to have a job matching their qualification. The probability of a match does not increase over time for highly educated immigrants, but does for others. Highly educated immigrant women have an additional disadvantage. In some industries low autonomy and skill downgrading of immigrant workers are particularly common. 2019-06-05T19:18:46Z 2019-06-05T19:18:46Z 2019 Journal Article Applied Economic Letters 1350-4851 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31792 CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Taylor and Francis Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Germany
