Job searching methods: are immigrants different than natives?
Studies frequently emphasize that integration of immigrants into local labour market meets many challenges. Labour market indicators reveal that outcomes of immigrants and natives differ, either in terms of participation, employment or remuneration. The comparative data on policy measures within Europe reveals that labour market access is not the same across countries – some have more liberalized access to non-native population, while others adopt many regulations. Yet, policies are analysed based on the available legislation, which might not even be implemented to a full capacity or might not be widely known to migrant (or even native) population. The labour market outcomes, however, do not depend only on the policy measures adopted in a country, but are also related to individual job search efforts. Studies have revealed that migrants frequently rely on existing social networks in their job search, and much less on labour market institutions in the host countries. Thus, policy measures aimed at increasing the access to labour market to immigrant population might not lead to improving their labour market outcomes, even in cases when institutions are sufficiently developed. In order to understand how relevant policies could be designed more effectively, the paper focuses on the issue of preferred job search methods of the immigrant population. By relying on the latest EU Labour Force Survey ad hoc module for the year 2014 the paper provides comparative analysis of job search methods between immigrant and native population in European economies. The results are contrasted to the MIPEX index, in particular to labour market access indicator, to reveal in which countries the largest disparities between institutions’ legislative efforts and migrants’ recognition of these efforts exists. Although the analysis rests on the data capturing period before the large migrant pressures in 2015, important insight into existing practices and policies can still be gained.
