This research focuses on the gendered labor market consequences of immigrant social networks. Using a nationally representative sample and based on alternative analytic approaches, the present study investigates how and to what extent informal job search, i.e., finding a job through a personal contact, is associated with earnings outcomes for male and female immigrants in Korea. Unlike most previous studies, it distinguishes between two types of information provider or job referrer: bonding and bridging. Contrary to the notion that immigrant women are \u201cdoubly disadvantaged\u201d in the labor market, findings indicate that network-based job search yields lower monthly income for male, but not female, workers. In addition, significant evidence suggests that for the male subsample only, securing a job through a bonding (co-ethnic) contact results in an earnings penalty. Negative income returns on securing a job through a bridging (inter-ethnic) contact, on the other hand, receives conditional empirical support.<\/p>\n
