Early-career Income Trajectories among Physicians and Dentists: The Significance of Ethnicity

This article analyses early-career income trajectories among non-Western immigrant and native-born physicians and dentists in Norway. Registered data comprising all medical and dental graduates from Norwegian universities dating from 1990 through 2005 are utilized. The results show that, on average, immigrants and native-born individuals display similar income trajectories; however, they do have somewhat different earning profiles. Among employed professionals, immigrants receive lower income premiums as a result of job change but receive higher returns from tenure. There are no income differences among self-employed professionals with non-Western immigrant background and majority background.
