A joint study by INTEC University and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) reveals that 48.97% of immigrants to the country between the ages of 10 and 29 have permanent jobs. The study looked into young Haitian immigrants, descendants of Haitian immigrants, immigrants from other countries and descendants of immigrants from other countries, as reported in Listin Diario. The research was headed by economist Luis Vargas who analyzed the socio-demographic, educational and family characteristics of immigrants and descendants of immigrants in the 10-29 year age range, and how they have inserted themselves into the local work force.
Data from the First National Survey of Immigrants in the Dominican Republic (ENI-2012) was used.
The study revealed that 38.68% of immigrants are employed in an occasional or temporary job, and only 8.02% are hired per job.
