Popis / Abstract
In this exploratory piece, I use the OECD Databases on Migration (DIOC) to an formulate some stylized facts about the situation of migrants in the European Union. Specifically, I examine the extent to which male and female migrants work in jobs that match education attainment. To capture the development over time, I compare the situation based on the oldest available data (reference years 2000/01) with the most recent ones (reference years 2015/16). I identify that, compared to native workers, migrants are more likely to be mismatched and both the extent of overeducation and the difference vis-à-vis the native workers has grown in the examined period. Women, while increasingly represented among migrant workers, are more likely to be mismatch. The region of origin of the migrants matters as well.
