Migration and its impact on labour markets
Authors

Abstract
Migration—encompassing both international movement across borders and
internal movement within countries—is among the most consequential forces
shaping global and national labour markets. By 2019, the number of
international migrants stood at approximately 272 million, representing 3.5% of
the world's population, while internal migration within developing countries
involved hundreds of millions more. This paper examines the multidimensional
relationship between migration and labour markets up to 2019–20, analysing wage
effects, employment composition, occupational mobility, fiscal impacts,
productivity spillovers, and the specific dynamics of remittances. Drawing on
data from the International Labour Organization (ILO), World Bank, OECD, and
national statistical sources, it finds that while migration produces net
economic gains at the aggregate level, its distributional impacts—across skill
groups, sectors, and geographies—are complex, contested, and politically
charged.
