Abstract

This article establishes a new fact about immigration policies: granting legal status to undocumented immigrants has long-term effects on their formal employment and assimilation. We exploit the broad amnesty enacted in Italy in 2002, together with rich survey data collected in 2011 on a representative sample of immigrant households, to estimate the long-run effects of receiving legal amnesty. Immigrants who were not eligible for the amnesty have a 14% lower probability of working in the formal sector a decade later, are subject to more severe ethnic segregation on the job, and display less linguistic assimilation than those who obtained legal status through the amnesty.

移民工人的合法化和长期结果。

本文确立了一个关于移民政策的新事实：给予无证移民合法地位对他们的正式就业和同化具有长期影响。我们利用意大利2002年颁布的广泛大赦，以及2011年对移民家庭代表性样本收集的丰富调查数据，来估计接受合法大赦的长期影响。不符合大赦条件的移民在十年后进入正规部门工作的可能性要低14%，在工作中受到更严重的种族隔离，并且与那些通过大赦获得合法地位的人相比，他们在语言上的同化程度更低。

期刊介绍： Since its founding in 1964, the journal Demography has mirrored the vitality, diversity, high intellectual standard and wide impact of the field on which it reports. Demography presents the highest quality original research of scholars in a broad range of disciplines, including anthropology, biology, economics, geography, history, psychology, public health, sociology, and statistics. The journal encompasses a wide variety of methodological approaches to population research. Its geographic focus is global, with articles addressing demographic matters from around the planet. Its temporal scope is broad, as represented by research that explores demographic phenomena spanning the ages from the past to the present, and reaching toward the future. Authors whose work is published in Demography benefit from the wide audience of population scientists their research will reach. Also in 2011 Demography remains the most cited journal among population studies and demographic periodicals. Published bimonthly, Demography is the flagship journal of the Population Association of America, reaching the membership of one of the largest professional demographic associations in the world.
