Abstract
This paper examines the wage and job satisfaction effects of over-education and
overskilling among migrants graduating from EU-15 based universities in 2005.
Female migrants with shorter durations of domicile were found to have a higher
likelihood of overskilling. Newly arrived migrants incurred wage penalties which were
exacerbated by additional penalties resulting from overskilling in the male labour
market and overeducation in the female labour market. Established migrants were
found to enjoy wage premia, with no evidence of disproportionate wage
impacts arising as a consequence of mismatch. Female migrants were found to
have a lower probability of being job satisfied.
