00:00Are immigrants earning less than native workers?
00:07Immigrants earn nearly 18% less per year on average than natives in Europe and North America.
00:14This is according to a Nature study that analyzed the salaries of 13.5 million workers across nine countries, including seven European countries.
00:23Three-quarters of this specific pay gap was the result of a lack of access to higher-paying jobs,
00:29while just one-quarter was attributed to pay differences between migrant and native-born workers in the same job.
00:36In Spain, the pay gap was over 29%, the highest from all seven European countries.
00:42In Norway, Germany, France and the Netherlands, immigrants earned between 15% and 20% less than natives.
00:49Meanwhile, in Sweden, a country where many employed immigrants find work in the public sector, it was just 7%.
00:57Where immigrants were born also matters to determine the pay gap.
01:00The highest average overall pay gaps were for immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa at 26.1% and the Middle East and North Africa at 23.7%.
01:11For immigrants from Europe, North America and other Western countries, the difference in average pay compared to natives was a much more modest 9%.
01:19However, the children of immigrants had a substantially smaller earnings gap, attaining an average of 5.7% less than workers with native-born parents.
01:29For nicerносs, how many of theseţs were placed in their own.
