immigration has delivered substantial economic gains to wealthy countries over the past three decades, boosting long-term economic growth, according to new research that analyzed dozens of advanced economies within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The study, which will be presented next week at the European Central Bank's annual Forum on Central Banking in Sintra, Portugal, concludes that countries experiencing higher levels of immigration consistently saw stronger gains in labor productivity and gross domestic product (GDP) per worker.
