  • Beschreibung: We aim to study the role of labor market mismatch in the context of international migration. Mismatch employment occurs when high-skill workers are employed in occupations that do not need such education and vice versa. The results show: i) undereducation is on average lower among immigrants, while overeducation is higher among immigrants; ii) immigrants are more likely to be employed than natives; iii) mismatch is important in explaining wages; iv) there are differences in occupational mismatch effects; v) the immigrant’s place of origin is not important to explain occupation status but it is very important to explain differences in wages.
