The book is the first publication that focuses on essentialism to analyse the trajectories of migrant women with tertiary education and study their access to jobs.Although holding tertiary education should facilitate access to rewarding positions, returns on education for migrant women are reduced within European labour markets. Regardless of their educational background, they primarily find employment in jobs with low social recognition. Scholars have explored the impact of migration policies, of low recognition of titles and skills gained abroad, and of networks in confining migrant women at the bottom of the employment structure. However, the literature gives little attention to the influence that essentialism has on limiting access to jobs. By analysing the challenges faced by migrant women with tertiary education, the book highlights how access to resources and employment is gendered, classed, and racialised and how essentialist processes influence it. Understanding these mechanisms will contribute to reproducing stratifications aids in designing paths towards more equal access to employment.
