NUNEZ-ANTON, Vicente; OGUIZA-TOVAR, Ainhoa y VIRTO-MORENO, Jorge. Effects of the economic crisis on employment among the immigrant population in the Basque Country: an analysis for sex, qualification and geographical origin. Pap. poblac [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.96, pp.97-118. ISSN 2448-7147. https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2018.96.16.
In this paper we study employment rates among the immigrant population in the Basque Country in a period of economic expansion and in a recession. The objective is to analyze how employment among the immigrant population behaved during the crisis. Regardless of their gender, origin or qualifications, at the end of the crisis the employment rate among immigrants was lower than among the local-born Basque population, with the sole exception of women from the Americas. Immigrant women were less affected by the crisis than men. Sectoral segregation is probably the main cause of the fall in the gender gap in employment. With regard to country of origin and level of education, African workers and those with only basic studies (foreign and local-born alike) were hit hardest by the crisis.
