This first volume of the series contains nine chapters that can be considered case studies, from a global perspective, on immigrant labor market assimilation and its aftermath. The chapters examine immigration episodes in different countries in both the developed and developing world. The studies employ a wide variety of datasets, estimation techniques, and theoretical models. Interestingly, there are some commonalities in the findings that allow for deeper speculation about the general lessons learned.
The chapters in this volume on immigration and the labor market present new and original research that broadly address two key questions related to immigrant assimilation and its aftermath. First, does immigration negatively impact the labor market performance of natives or existing immigrants? Second, what are the factors that influence the quality of labor market assimilation in the host country? The studies in this volume cover immigration episodes in different countries, e.g., the United States, Turkey, Israel, Tajikistan, and Germany, as well as in different time periods, e.g., from the 1980s until the present time. Thus, the chapters can be considered a set of migration case studies from a global perspective.
