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.engImmigrationWagesEducationAssimilationmaster thesis203723619
