Resumo(s)
This paper investigates the wage gaps between immigrant and Portuguese
workers, and the portability of education across countries. Using data from
the Portuguese Labour Force Survey, results reveal that education obtained
abroad is less valued in the Portuguese labour market than education obtained
in Portugal, which appears to be a key factor in explaining the wage gap.
Results further show that there is heterogeneity in the returns to education of
immigrants from different origin countries.
