Abstract: The integration of migrants into European Union (EU) labour markets presents a significant policy challenge with broad implications for economic development, social cohesion, and inequality. This report analyses migrant integration into host country labour markets on several dimensions, including employment, income, and job quality. We find that although migrants are much more likely to be employed in shortage occupations than natives, with little change when including region fixed effects instead of country fixed effects suggesting results are not primarily driven by regional sorting, migrants also experience higher rates of horizontal (different field of study) and vertical (overqualification) mismatch compared to natives, with significant variation across the EU.
Further, migrants work in occupations with different occupational task intensities to natives with differential growth trajectories, particualrly by skill level. Against a background of de-routinisation and a declining manual job share across Europe, we find that in some regions, migrants are more at risk of job loss with a higher rate of transition into unemployment.
