Abstract

This paper aims at examining in depth the occupational change and the work trajectories of individuals through time in order to provide a wider perspective of the effects of the 2008-2013 financial crisis on employment. We use microdata from the Labour Force Survey and carry out a comparison among three groups: the Spanish born in Spain, the Spanish born abroad and the non-Spanish born abroad. The results confirm that the latter group is characterized by the existence of a segmented occupational structure towards (highskilled and low-skilled) blue-collar jobs, a fact which has fostered a loss of employment in the work biography of the youngest cohorts of individuals during the recession.
