NDLI: Skilled immigration in OECD regions

Content Provider	OECD iLibrary
Organization	OECD
Abstract	International migration is an important factor that contributes to demographic and human capital changes in many OECD regions. Information on the skill composition of migrants is important to understand its effects on local labour markets. Moreover, there is evidence that highly skilled migrants bring higher productivity, entrepreneurial assets and trading opportunities to host regions. The past decade has seen a substantial increase in the employment of immigrants with tertiary educational attainment, partly as a result of changes in migration policies to favour admission of highly qualified workers. Regional differences in the distribution of highly skilled foreign-born individuals across regions are particularly marked in Mexico, the United States, Spain, Canada and Germany (Figure 10.1). In Canada, the population of foreign-born individuals is on average highly educated. The result for Canada is partly explained by the large weight given to formal education in their immigration policies. Despite the large increases in recent inflows of low-skilled migrants from South America, Spanish regions have on average a similar proportion of highly skilled people compared to other Southern European countries such Italy and Portugal.
