Why have ninety million workers around the globe left their homes for employment in other countries? What can be done to ensure that international labor migration is a force for global betterment? This groundbreaking book presents the most comprehensive analysis of the causes and effects of labor migration available, and it recommends sensible, sustainable migration policies that are fair to migrants and to the countries that open their doors to them. The authors survey recent trends in international migration for employment and demonstrate that the flow of authorized and illegal workers over borders presents a formidable challenge in countries and regions throughout the world. They note that not all migration is from undeveloped to developed countries and discuss the murky relations between immigration policies and politics. The book concludes with specific recommendations for justly managing the world's growing migrant workforce.

The authors empirically examine the determinants of remittance flows at the cross-country level. They consider, among other things, the significance of the level of migration, the education level of migrants, and financial sector development in determining remittances. Given the potential endogeneity problems, the migration and financial development variables are instrumented in the estimation. They find that the migration level is the main driver of remittance flows, even after controlling for the endogeneity bias through instrumental variable estimation. The authors also find that the education level of migrants relative to the population in home countries, the size of the economy, and the level of economic development of recipient countries adversely affect remittance flows. While they find the effect of financial sector development to be positive, its significance is not strongly supported in their analysis.

The integration of immigrants at the local level is a topic of significant interest for OECD countries. The growing importance of the knowledge economy means that the battle for talent is becoming as important as the battle for inward investment, and skilled migrants can offer a significant comparative advantage to local labor markets, as long as their potential is harnessed. Unskilled migrants are also in demand, particularly where rising living costs make lower paid jobs unattractive to the native population, and where demographic change and population movement combine to reduce the self-sufficiency of local labor markets. For the potential advantages of migration to be maximized, however, it is crucial that immigration is accompanied by integration, that is, effective mechanisms for ensuring immigrants are effectively incorporated into local labor markets. Paradoxically, at the same time that migration is increasing in global importance, there is worrying evidence that integration results do not seem to be as favorable in a number of countries as they were in the past.--Publisher summary.

Diese erste Ausgabe des Internationalen Migrationsausblicks analysiert die jüngsten Trendentwicklungen im Bereich der Wanderungsbewegungen und -politik in allen OECD-Ländern. Erstmals enthält der Bericht für die meisten OECD-Länder auch harmonisierte Statistiken über die langfristigen internationalen Zuwanderungsströme. Unterstrichen werden dabei die wachsende Bedeutung der Zuzüge aus Russland, der Ukraine, China und Lateinamerika sowie die zunehmende Feminisierung der Migrationsströme.Diese Ausgabe spiegelt das wachsende Interesse der Mitgliedsländer an der Anwerbung hoch qualifizierter Zuwanderer mit Hilfe von Auswahlverfahren sowie der befristeten, häufig saisonalen Beschäftigung gering qualifizierter Migranten wider. Das Schwergewicht liegt dabei insbesondere auf Maßnahmen für eine bessere Steuerung der Migrationsströme, speziellen Integrationsmaßnahmen für Neuzuwanderer, die von vorgeschriebenen Sprachkursen hin zu arbeitsplatzorientierten Initiativen reichen, sowie auf der Verstärkung der Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der Diskriminierung und Förderung der Vielfalt. Die Veröffentlichung enthält außerdem: • Zwei Sonderkapitel, die aktuellen Themen gewidmet sind. Das erste behandelt die Frage der Steuerung der Migrationszuflüsse durch Quoten und Plafonds und evaluiert die Effizienz entsprechender Instrumente. Das zweite analysiert die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Migration, Rücküberweisungen und wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung der Entsendeländer aus einem anderen Blickwinkel. • Länderbeiträge, diesmal in neuer Form, die die jüngsten Entwicklungen bei Migrationsbewegungen und -politik beschreiben und anhand neu gestalteter standardisierter Tabellen veranschaulichen. • Einen statistischen Anhang mit den neuesten Daten über Ausländer und im Ausland geborene Personen sowie über Migrationsströme und Einbürgerungen.
