Abstract
Using quantitative data[1] from a structured survey of female labor migrants from three Central Asian countries—Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan—conducted in three Russian cities, this study examines the impact of legal status on employment outcomes.
The variables were organized into the Index of Precarious Work (IPW) (Goldring & Landolt, 2011b), along with other control variables, to demonstrate the extent of job precarity for each category of migrants: naturalized, documented, and undocumented.
[1] Professor Victor Agadjanian at UCLA provided the dataset used in this study. Funding for data collection was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (USA), Grant # R01 HD058365 (supplement), Agadjanian V., PI
