Network explanations of the gender gap in migrants’ employment patterns: Use of online and offline networks in the Netherlands
Objective: We investigate the relation between having online and offline personal networks and employment for male and female migrants in the Netherlands. Background: Previous research diagnoses an alarming gender gap for migrants in their employment patterns. Although social networks are identified as being crucial for migrants' labor market participation, we know very little about how migrant men and women differ in their social networks and how these differences translate into varying employment opportunities. Method: Drawing on the Dutch Immigrant Panel of LISS (Longitudinal Internet Studi... Mehr ...

Objective: We investigate the relation between having online and offline personal networks and employment for male and female migrants in the Netherlands. Background: Previous research diagnoses an alarming gender gap for migrants in their employment patterns. Although social networks are identified as being crucial for migrants' labor market participation, we know very little about how migrant men and women differ in their social networks and how these differences translate into varying employment opportunities. Method: Drawing on the Dutch Immigrant Panel of LISS (Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences) dataset, we examined migrants' employment patters who have arrived to the Netherlands under different migration streams by conducting logistic regression models. Results: We identify two major findings. While contrary to our expectations, migrant women tend to be connected with those who are employed and with a Dutch background, less connected to men and have a rather dense network structure. Nonetheless, women’s personal networks do not significantly account for their unemployment, but rather their less use of LinkedIn than migrant men. Conclusion: Our findings have implications in understanding network inequalities for female migrants in their labor market participation. ; Fragestellung: In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir den Zusammenhang zwischen persönlichen Online- und Offline-Netzwerken und der Arbeitsmarktbeteiligung von Migrantinnen und Migranten in den Niederlanden. Hintergrund: Frühere Forschungen deuten auf ein alarmierendes Geschlechtergefälle bei Migranten in ihrem Beschäftigungsverhalten hin. Obwohl soziale Netzwerke als entscheidend für die Arbeitsmarktbeteiligung von Migranten sind, ist wenig darüber bekannt, wie sich Männer und Frauen mit Migrationshintergrund in ihren sozialen Netzwerken unterscheiden und wie sich diese Unterschiede in verschiedenen Beschäftigungschancen widerspiegeln. Methode: Auf der Grundlage des niederländischen Einwandererpanels des LISS-Datensatzes ...
