We extend their model by allowing for a duration dependent variable, and an ordinal educational variable. Data...

The emergence of a transitional labor market offers new opportunities to workers, but at the same time bears the risk of (new) inequalities. This paper deals with unequal chances on the transitional labor market in the Netherlands, in particular for workers from the four largest immigrant...
