Resumo
This study investigates the presence of discrimination in the Brazilian work market between foreign immigrants and Brazilians, all men, ranging from 25 to 60 years of age. The foreign immigrants, who were Korean, Chinese, Argentine, Bolivian, Chilean, Paraguayan, Peruvian, and Uruguayan nationals, were compared to native Brazilians. The data came from the Brazilian National Census, 2000. The findings were: 1) immigrant status is associated with higher class position and income; 2) ethnic/national origin has an impact on the individual's position in the work market; 3) immigrants' situation in the work market is heterogeneous; and iv) a situation of occupational and wage advantage does not mean that the individual does not suffer negative discrimination in the work market.
Palavras-chave: foreign immigrants; ethnic [national discrimination]; class positions; income; migration.
