Abstract

"The regulation of occupations and difficulties in assessing foreign occupational qualifications restrict the possibilities of immigrants to integrate into the German labor market. Our study shows that the formal recognition of occupational qualifications can improve the labor market outcomes of immigrants. We find that the recognition leads to higher employment and wages and that the earnings of immigrants converge to those of their native counterparts." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
