Slow Motion: The Labour Market Integration of New Immigrants in France
This report assesses the labor market outcomes of new immigrants to France, based on French Labor Force survey data. It reveals that immigrants who arrived from 2000 onwards fared badly in the first few years after arrival, but improved their labor market outcomes over time. One year after arrival, approximately half of immigrants were active in the labor market, but after nine years in France, their activity rates almost equaled those of native workers. However, their employment rates were more than 10 percentage points lower than native workers in 2011, providing evidence of some persistent structural obstacles to labor market success.
