Migration in OECD countries
Labour Market Impact and Integration Issues
immigration for natives' labour market outcomes, as well as issues linked to immigrants' integration in the
host country labour market. Changes in the share of immigrants in the labour force may have a distributive
impact on natives' wages, and a temporary impact on unemployment. However, labour market integration
of immigrants (as well as integration of second-generation immigrants - both in terms of educational
attainments and of labour market outcomes) remains the main challenge facing host economies. In both
cases, product and labour market policies have a significant role to play in easing the economy's
adjustment to immigration.
