Abstract

This paper uses the General Household Survey data for the UK to study earnings discrimination between natives and migrants. The key result is that the main source of discrimination is ethnicity rather than migrant status per se. This paper differs from the conventional focus in studies of earnings discrimination, which focus on mean wage differences. In contrast we study the entire distribution of the wage gap, and incorporate distributionally sensitive measures of the wage gap reflecting different levels of aversion to discrimination. Our results are consistent with previous studies for the UK that find that non-white immigrants are the most widely discriminated in terms of their labour market returns. Moreover this discrimination on the basis of colour is also present in the sub-sample of natives.

移民收入中歧视的分布——来自1974-1993年英国的证据
本文使用英国的综合住户调查数据来研究本地居民和移民之间的收入歧视。关键的结果是,歧视的主要来源是种族,而不是移民身份本身。本文不同于以往对收入歧视研究的关注,主要集中在平均工资差异上。相比之下,我们研究了工资差距的整个分布,并纳入了反映不同程度厌恶歧视的工资差距的分布敏感指标。我们的研究结果与之前针对英国的研究结果一致,即非白人移民在劳动力市场回报方面受到的歧视最为广泛。此外,这种基于肤色的歧视也存在于土著的子样本中。
