High-Skilled Immigration in a Global Labor Market
By: Chiswick, Barry R. (ed.).
Material type: BookPublisher: Washington, DC, AEI Press, 2011Description: 364 pages.ISBN: 0-8447-4385-2.Subject(s): immigration policy | high-skilled migration | labor market | labor migration | migrant worker | skilled worker | USA | Australia | Canada | New ZealandSummary: Recent U.S. immigration reform proposals have focused almost exclusively on regulating the population of low-skilled foreign workers. High-Skilled Immigration in a Global Labor Market contends that policymakers should focus more on attracting immigrants with exclusive skill sets-professional, technical, and managerial (PTM) workers. PTM workers positively impact the economy by expanding production capability, increasing the growth rate of total factor productivity, and enhancing international competitiveness. Barry R. Chiswick and his coauthors examine the policies established by other OECD countries (such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand) to attract foreign PTM workers and explore how U.S. immigration policy could be altered to maximize the economic benefits of high-skilled immigration.Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
