Abstract

The share of the foreign‐born population in member countries of the OECD is increasing, and this article summarizes economics research on the effects of immigration in those nations. Four broad topics are addressed: labour market issues, fiscal questions, the political economy of immigration, and productivity and international trade. Extreme concerns about deleterious labour market and fiscal impacts following from new immigrants are not found to be warranted. However, it is also clear that government policies and practices regarding the selection and integration of new migrants affect labour market, fiscal, social and cultural outcomes. Policies that are well informed, well crafted and well executed beneficially improve population welfare. Une introduction à l’économie de l’immigration dans les pays de l’OCDE. Les immigrants représentent une part croissante de la population des pays de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques. Cet article résume des recherches économiques récentes portant sur les effets de l’immigration dans ces pays. Quatre thématiques sont abordées: le marché de travail, la fiscalité, l’économie politique, et la productivité et le commerce international. Les grandes préoccupations concernant les effets néfastes de l’arrivée de nouveaux migrants sur le marché du travail et les incidences fiscales ne sont pas justifiées. Au contraire, il est clair que les politiques et pratiques gouvernementales en matière de sélection et d’intégration des nouveaux migrants ont une incidence sur le niveau de réussite des nouveaux arrivants au marché du travail et financière ainsi que sur leur intégration culturelle et sociale. Des politiques éclairées, bien conçues et bien appliquées améliorent le bien‐être de la population.
