Summary
Current immigration has reached historical levels: population growth is mainly fuelled by immigration (Wilson et al 2013). The United States is still the OECD’s leading destination country, receiving about 20% of the global immigrant inflow, whereas Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have some of the highest proportions of foreign-born populations (OECD 2017a). These latter countries have a specific government-led selection system, with policies targeted to attract a larger share of higher-educated immigrants (Papademetriou and Sumption 2011). In most developed countries the demographic regime is characterised by low fertility, high immigration, and population ageing. This regime impacts on the size of the labour force population, the ethno-cultural composition, and potential productivity
