Is temporary agency employment a stepping stone for immigrants?

Abstract

"We investigate whether agency employment is a bridge into regular employment for immigrants to Denmark using the timing-of-events approach. We provide evidence of large positive in-treatment effects, particularly for non-western immigrants and immigrants arriving during childhood. Post-treatment effects are fairly high for male non-western immigrants and immigrants from Eastern Europe." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
