Occupation–Education Mismatch of Immigrant Women in Europe
Against the background of continuing gains in female education and labour market participation and rising migration, we investigate whether women work in occupations which match their educational qualifications and whether migrant women face double penalty in being overqualified for their jobs. Using the data from the European Social Survey covering 2002–2020 with detailed information about occupation and educational attainment, we show that migr…
Intentions for a third child
We investigate the effect of parents' sex composition preferences on intentions for a third child in India. Parents' preference for sex composition are balanced or mixed gender (a son and a daughter) or gender biased, commonly for a son, and are expected to change over time. Pooled sample of 22,290 couples with two children from the National Family Health Surveys (NFHS), conducted in 2005/6 and 2015/16 is used to analyze couples' sex composition …

Differences in educational attainment by country of origin
This study investigates native–migrant differences in engagement in post-school education. Using a longitudinal survey of youth in Australia, we find that immigrants originating from non-English-speaking countries are significantly more likely to continue with further study between the ages of 18 and 23 years. On the other hand, there are no significant differences between immigrants from English-speaking countries and native youth. We find sever…

Native‐Migrant Wage Differential Across Occupations
We investigate wage differential by migrant status across white‐collar and blue‐collar occupations in Australia. Migrants are observed to have a higher wage; this difference, however, does not exist once we control for covariates. The unconditional wage differential varies over wage distribution as well as by occupation. Significant wage differentials are found above the median: positive for white‐collar workers and negative for blue‐collar worke…
An analysis of the cost structure of water supply in Sri Lanka
Water utilities in developing countries face a challenge in maintaining the existing supply and extending the supply of pipe-borne water to rural areas in face of growing demand. Understanding the cost structure is important for developing the pricing policies, regulating the market structure and ensuring the financial viability of the supply of pipe-borne water. This paper investigates economic parameters of water supply in Sri Lanka, which exhi…
