International Migration Outlook 2019
The 2019 edition of the International Migration Outlook analyses recent developments in migration movements and policies in OECD countries and some non-OECD economies. It also examines the evolution of labour market outcomes of immigrants in OECD countries. This year’s edition includes two special chapters, one on the contribution of temporary migration to the labour markets of OECD countries and the other on the long-term integration effects of family presence. The report also contains country notes and a statistical annex.
Labour market outcomes of migrants and integration policies in OECD countries
This chapter examines the labour market outcomes of migrants during the period 2007‑18. Particular attention is given to the evolution of the labour market outcomes of recently arrived migrants and of all immigrants’ job quality in a context of global economic recovery, as well as high recent migration flows, notably humanitarian ones. The second part of this chapter discusses recent changes in integration policies in OECD countries, with a special focus on how migrants integrate into their host country’s labour market.
