Labor and health of undocumented migrant women
Background Undocumented migrant women face compounded risk exposure stemming from precarious living and working conditions, legal exclusion, and barriers to healthcare access. Empirical evidence linking their sociodemographic status and health trajectories remains scarce, particularly in Italy and Europe. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study of 3,000 women aged ≥18 who attended Naga—a nonprofit primary-care clinic for undocume…
Downgraded dreams
Undocumented immigrant workers are particularly exposed to mental health risk factors, including occupational downgrading - i.e. the loss in occupational status upon arrival. This study breaks new ground by examining the relationship between occupational downgrading and mental health among this hard-to-reach population, offering the first-ever investigation of its kind. Leveraging a unique dataset collected by a primary care outpatient clinic in …
Immigrants and legal status
Using unique Italian survey data on both documented and undocumented immigrants, we empirically quantify the correlation between different types of personal contacts and immigrants' documentation probability, while also uncovering the contacts' indirect associations via immigrant labour market outcomes (employment status and job characteristics). Our results indicate that contacts with both natives and family members have a positive and quantitat…
Tolerant or segregated? Immigration and electoral outcomes in urban areas
Longitudinal employment trajectories and health in middle life
The paper adopts a long-term perspective in analysing the association between health and employment histories, often characterized by substantial mobility over time across multiple statuses and contractual arrangements. The available evidence is largely ba
Employment of Undocumented Immigrants and the Prospect of Legal Status
This article estimates the causal effect of the prospect of legal status on the employment outcomes of undocumented immigrants. The identification strategy exploits a natural experiment provided by an Italian amnesty program that introduced an exogenous discontinuity in eligibility based on date of arrival. The authors find that immigrants who are potentially eligible for legal status under the amnesty program have a significantly higher probabil…
