In the last two decades, many labor migrants have arrived in the Nordic countries where they concentrate in certain low-wage and low-skilled jobs – immigrant niches. The article analyzes the scope of social (im)mobility in terms of occupational careers, income change, and job stability for native and foreign-born workers in immigrant niches in the low-skilled and low-wage section of the labor market. The case study is Norway’s fish processing industry, where labor immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe have largely replaced Norwegian-born workers in manual jobs since 2004 and now dominate the workplace alongside a smaller number of non-Western immigrant workers. The article uses full population register data (n = 4164, Microdata.no) to analyze differences in workers’ social trajectories between 2009 and 2018. Results show significant variation between workers: Norwegian-born (non-immigrant) workers appear to have greater upward social mobility than EU11 immigrant workers, who in turn do better than non-Western immigrant workers.

低技能和低工资移民利基的社会（Im）流动性

在过去的二十年里，许多劳工移民来到了北欧国家，在那里他们专注于某些低工资和低技能的工作——移民领域。本文从职业生涯、收入变化和工作稳定性的角度分析了劳动力市场低技能和低工资部分移民利基的本地和外国出生工人的社会（不动）范围。案例研究是挪威的鱼类加工业，自 2004 年以来，来自中欧和东欧的劳工移民在很大程度上取代了挪威出生的体力劳动工人，现在与少数非西方移民工人一起在工作场所占据主导地位。文章使用完整的人口登记数据（n = 4164，Microdata.no）来分析 2009 年至 2018 年工人社会轨迹的差异。
