No full textIn this paper I discuss the economic effects of immigration for destination countries, with a focus on labour market adjustments. First, I show the potential effects of immigration on the labour market in a stylized one-output model, and discuss some extensions. Then I focus on empirical estimations, critically presenting strengths and weaknesses of the empirical strategies that are commonly used in the literature. In the last part I review recent empirical evidence on the effects of immigration in Ital
L’intégration des immigrés dans les pays d’accueil - Ce que nous savons et ce qui marche = Integration of immigrants in host countries - What we know and what works
No full textIntegration of immigrants is at the forefront of policy concerns in many countries. This paper starts by documenting that in most European countries immigrants face significant labour market disadvantages relative to natives. Then it discusses how public policies may affect immigrants' integration. First, we review the evidence on the effectiveness of language and introduction courses. Then, we discuss how different aspects of the migration policy framework may determine immigrants' integration patterns. In particular, based on a review of the recent literature, we highlight the role of visa length and of predictability about migration duration in shaping migrants' decisions on investments in country-specific human and social capital. Further, we discuss implications for refugee migration and also review the role of citizenship acquisition rules. The paper ends with an outlook of the consequences for sending countries.L’intégration des immigrés est au coeur des préoccupations politiques dans plusieurs pays. Cet article commence par présenter que, dans la plupart des pays européens, les immigrés sont considérablement défavorisés sur le marché du travail par rapport aux natifs. Puis il s’interroge sur la façon dont les politiques publiques peuvent affecter l’intégration des immigrés. Premièrement, nous passons en revue la littérature sur l’efficacité des cours de langue et d’introduction. Ensuite nous cherchons à savoir comment différents aspects du cadre de la politique migratoire peuvent déterminer les modes d’intégration des immigrés. En particulier, nous nous appuyons sur une revue de la littérature récente pour souligner le rôle de la durée du visa et de la prévisibilité de la durée de la migration dans la décision des migrants d’investir dans le capital humain et social propre au pays d’accueil. En outre, nous discutons des implications pour la migration de réfugiés et nous nous intéressons au rôle des règles d’acquisition de la nationalité. L’article s’achève par un aperçu des conséquences pour les pays d’origine
Evaluating the Labour Market Integration of New Immigrants in the UK
Full text linkThis article analyses the labour market integration of newly arrived immigrants in the UK labour market, based on data from the UK Labour Force Survey. We focus on immigrants who arrived in the United Kingdom since 2000 and distinguish different cohorts based on the year of their arrival in the country. We examine the extent to which these new arrivals were able to enter work and move up into skilled jobs, and analyse the sectors of the economy that have proved most amenable to this progression. The analysis indicates that these new arrivals fared relatively well in the workforce. In part as a result of their relative youth and high education levels, many new arrivals (especially those from the European Union and in particular the EU10 countries) moved straight into work

Immigration : the European experience
No full textThis paper starts with a brief historical overview of immigration in Europe. We then provide a comprehensive analysis of the skill structures of immigrants and their labor market integration in the different European countries, their position in the wage distribution, and the situation of their children, and illustrate the economic situation of immigrants and their children relative to natives. We show that immigrants – in particular those from non-EU countries – are severely disadvantaged in most countries, even if we compare them to natives with the same measurable skills. We conclude with a discussion of the role of regulations and institutions as one possible mechanism for these findings, and suggest directions for future researc
