THE INFLUENCE OF MIGRATION ON THE LABOUR MARKET STATUS IN WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study is to indicate nativitystatus differences (native-born and foreign-born) bygender based on labour market status. The primaryobjective is to explore the labour market statusdifferences in terms of nativity status based on a genderperspective of labour status. A quantitative researchapproach was applied to this study. Linear Regressionanalysis and Trend Analyses are used to emphasize therelationship between the native-born males/females andthe foreign-born males/females in the labour marketstatus as employed, unemployed and inactive. This studyaims to answer which is higher in the case of native-bornand foreign-born female/male employed, unemployed,and participation rates in Western-European countries.Data was collected from OECD (Organization forEconomic Co-operation and Development) migrationdatabases between 2014 and 2018 for Western Europeancountries. It has been found that in the chosen countries,there is a linear relationship between native-bornmales/females and foreign-born males/females in mostof the cases. If one side increases in terms of employedstatus or unemployed status, the other side also increasesdue to the existence of a significant and positive linearrelationship. The findings suggest that this study impliesthat destination countries should create good labourmarket legislation to reduce the number of unemployedamong both migrants and the native-born population. Asvery few studies have investigated gender differences inmigration, this study gives a different perspective on thesubject by comparing the same-gender relationship in thenativity status of the labour market.
