Abstract

In general, migration is different from the flow of other factors of production in one important way. Migrants become interwoven into the fabric of the receiving country, and this includes its labour market, culture, politics and society (Card in Ind Labor Relat Rev 43:245–257, 1990). In this regard, one can reason that migration flows can more permanently impact on a host economy as compared to traditional financial capital flows. One of the main conduits through which immigration impacts a host economy is via the labour market (and particularly in terms of its impact on less skilled natives).
