Migration, Human Capital and the Labor Market (Research in Labor Economics, V53, Part A)

This volume (Parts A and B) contains 16 new studies that shed light on key aspects of immigration: the drivers of immigration, the factors fostering or hindering immigrant integration in the host country, and the impact of immigration in the host countries.The studies span a wide range of countries in Europe, North and South America and use novel administrative, regional and survey data to offer insights into historical and contemporary episodes of migration.Together, they enrich our understanding of the determinants and consequences of migration and provide an evidence base for policy discussions.The volume covers three broad themes. In both Part A and B are eight papers on the integration of immigrants in the host society, focusing on the acquisition of human capital, labor supply, family formation, and returns to skills.Part B also studies the impact of immigration on outcomes that often dominate the public debate, namely employment, education, and crime.Published twice per year in
