This study examines the determinants of de-qualification and de-emancipation among the recently arrived highly skilled immigrant women in Switzerland. One issue is the underutilization of skills, qualifications, and knowledge, which results in a brain waste for the migrants as well as for the Swiss society.
Immigrants face numerous obstacles to integrating themselves into the Swiss labor market. Moreover, higher educated individuals are more likely to experience discrimination in the labor market. The logistic regression results indicated that Roma people have 6.7 times higher chances to be discriminated in a work-related context as compared to a Romanian individual. Moreover, less than half of these individuals have taken any action against the discrimination act, the others believing that nothing would have changed. The analysis revealed that around 14% of the respondents participating in the survey faced a discriminating situation in a work-related context during the last year. In order to capture the relevant aspects, we turned to descriptive analysis and logistic regression. The aim of the research is to investigate the perception of individuals regarding discrimination, with a focus on the characteristics of the individuals who feel discriminated in Romania in a work-related context. Discrimination in the labor market can negatively affect economic performances. Discrimination can take many forms, based on many reasons, and has a strong impact on the living standards of individuals.
An inclusive labor market, with equal opportunities for all, is a desideratum of all states, and one of the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations for the year 2030.
