我们研究了专门从事家庭生产的女性移民的流入是否以及如何影响意大利妇女的劳动力供应。为了确定因果关系，我们利用了家庭团聚动机和网络效应（即，新到达的女性移民倾向于定居在同一国家男性已经居住的地方），这被用作女性外籍工人地理分布的工具。我们发现，当提供家庭服务的移民数量较高时，意大利本土女性花更多的时间在工作上（密集边际），而不影响她们的劳动力参与（广泛边际）。这种影响主要集中在高技能妇女身上，她们的时间机会成本较高。经过一系列稳健性检查后，这些结果也成立。我们提出了一些进一步的证据，这些证据也与以下观点一致：这种影响是通过家务劳动的替代而不是生产部门的互补来发挥作用的。最后，我们表明移民是作为公共福利服务的替代品而出现的，尽管这种现象引起了人们对这种私人和非正式福利模式的公平性和可持续性的担忧。
We examine whether and how the inflow of female immigrants who specialize in household production affects the labour supply of Italian women. To identify the causal effect, we exploit the family reunification motives and network effects (i.e., the tendency of newly arriving female immigrants to settle in places where males of the same country already live) which is used as an instrument for the geographical distribution of female foreign workers. We find that when the number of immigrants who provide household services is higher, native Italian women spend more time at work (intensive margin) without affecting their labour force participation (extensive margin). This impact is concentrated on highly skilled women whose time has a higher opportunity cost. These results also hold after a battery of robustness checks. We present some further evidence that is also consistent with the idea that the impact works through substitution in household work rather than complementarities in the production sector. Finally, we show that immigration arises as a substitute to publicly provided welfare services, although this phenomenon raises concerns regarding the fairness and sustainability of this private and informal welfare model.
