Migration und Integration
Bei dem Thema Einwanderung nach Deutschland gilt es auch die Bedingungen einer gelingenden Integration von Zugewanderten in Gesellschaft, Bildung und Arbeit zu untersuchen. Die Arbeitsmarktforschung beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie die Integration in das Bildungs- und Ausbildungssystem, der Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt sowie die Bedingungen der sozialen Teilhabe und kulturellen Integration verbessert werden können.
Aktuelle Studien zeigen zudem, dass Deutschland angesichts seiner demographischen Herausforderungen dringend auf Zuwanderung angewiesen ist. Inwiefern kann Zuwanderung der Schrumpfung und Alterung des Erwerbspersonenpotenzials entgegenwirken? Welche Entwicklungen in der nationalen und europäischen Einwanderungspolitik begünstigen die Einwanderung von Erwerbspersonen und Fachkräften? Die hier zusammengestellte Literatur bietet einen aktuellen und umfassenden Überblick über den Themenkomplex Migration und Integration.

Abstract
"Eingewanderte sind zu Beginn ihrer beruflichen Laufbahn im Zielland überdurchschnittlich häufig in Betrieben und Branchen mit niedrigen Durchschnittslöhnen beschäftigt. Allerdings bestehen von Land zu Land erhebliche Unterschiede. Inwieweit werden diese Einkommensnachteile im Zeitablauf ausgeglichen? Und welche Rolle spielen die Betriebe selbst für die Einkommensentwicklung von Eingewanderten? Um diese Fragen ging es beim „OECD-Migrationsausblick 2025“." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Kiviholma, Sanni & Hannu Karhunen (2026): Labor Policies and Immigrant Employment. In: Journal of Economic Surveys, Jg. 40, H. 1, S. 321-339. DOI:10.1111/joes.70010
Abstract
"This survey describes the recent literature on integration and active labor market policies that strive to enhance the employment of immigrants. We searched several databases, and after screening, 63 studies satisfied our predetermined inclusion criteria. The first criterion is that the studies examine policies in Europe. Second, the search was limited to studies published between 2005 and 2024. Third, our primary outcome of interest is employment. Other outcome variables are income, labor market participation, and duration of unemployment. We focus on studies that offer experimental or quasi-experimental evidence on the effects of policies on the employment of immigrants. We divide the policy measures into the following five groups: integration programs, language training, benefits, childcare, and residency policies. Our main finding is that well-executed integration measures can improve the labor market attachment of immigrants, speed up the process of entering employment, and improve the quality of attained jobs."

Wage Inequality Among Immigrants (2025)
Zitatform
Akarsu, Mahmut Zeki & Erdem Seçilmiş (2025): Wage Inequality Among Immigrants. In: International migration review, S. 1-34. DOI:10.1177/01979183251371691
Abstract
"This study investigates the dynamics of wage inequality among immigrants in the United States, a topic often overshadowed by discussions on the effects of immigration on native workers. Utilizing a unique dataset specifically created for this research, we calculate wage inequality using the Gini coefficient and Atkinson index, offering a nuanced analysis of trends across education levels, industries, and immigration policies. The findings reveal a sharp rise in wage inequality among immigrants post-2013, surpassing overall wage inequality in the United States for the first time in 2023. High-skilled sectors, particularly IT, demonstrate a stabilizing effect on wage disparity, while low-skilled immigrants face growing wage gaps exacerbated by stringent visa policies and economic disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Our econometric analysis highlights the dual role of minimum wage policies, which increase wage inequality in the short term but reduce it over the long run. This study emphasizes the need for inclusive immigration policies that address within-group disparities and enhance equity in the labor market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Business migration between labour and trade: evidence from Switzerland (2025)

Alvarado, Mariana, Paula Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik, Sandra Lavenex & Philipp Lutz (2025): Business migration between labour and trade: evidence from Switzerland. In: Comparative Migration Studies, Jg. 13, H. 1. DOI:10.1186/s40878-025-00483-7
Abstract
"Largely unnoticed by the migration literature, business migration has established itself as a form of labor migration that is substantial in terms of numbers and receives preferential treatment in international and national migration law. Intra-corporate transferees, contractual service suppliers and business visitors all fall within this category and benefit from facilitated admission procedures agreed under trade agreements and corresponding provisions in national legislation. Assigned for temporary stays and retaining their work contract in the home country, these business migrants represent a “market model” of migration policy exploiting the economic benefits of human movement while avoiding migrants’ integration into the host countries’ labor market and society. This article conceptualizes business migration at the nexus of trade law, international labor markets and migration research and uses a mix of legal analysis, population register and other statistical data as well as survey data from Switzerland to demonstrate the scale and importance of this under-investigated yet significant type of economic migration. Amounting to nearly half of the regulated labour immigration into Switzerland, business migration is strongly associated with trade and investment ties as well as the presence of multinational companies. In contrast, trade agreements facilitating this type of labour mobility have no systematic effect." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Barreto, César, Ana Damas de Matos & Alexander Hijzen (2025): Immigrant Integration: the Role of Firms. In: OECD (Hrsg.) (2025): International Migration Outlook 2025, S. 123-150.
Abstract
"This chapter sheds new light on the integration of immigrants in the labour market by focussing on the role of firms in shaping the immigrant earnings gap using linked employer-employee data for 15 OECD countries. The chapter starts by documenting the immigrant earnings gap at entry in the labour market and the extent to which it is driven by immigrants working disproportionately in lower-paying firms, industries and occupations. It then analyses how the earnings gap evolves as immigrants integrate in the labour market by moving to better-paying firms, industries and occupations. The implications for immigrant integration policy are discussed in the conclusion." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Intersecting Shocks: The Combined Labor Market Impacts of Automation and Immigration (2025)

Bennett, Patrick & Julian Vedeler Johnsen (2025): Intersecting Shocks: The Combined Labor Market Impacts of Automation and Immigration. (CESifo working paper 12217), München, 41 S.
Abstract
"We study how the labor market shocks of automation and immigration interact to shape workers' outcomes. Using matched employer –employee data from Norwegian administrative registers, we combine animmigration shock triggered by the European Union's 2004 enlargement with an automation shock based on the adoption of industrial robots across Europe. Although these shocks largely occur in separate industries, we show that automation reduces earnings not only in manufacturing but also in construction, where tasks overlap with robot-exposed sectors. Importantly, workers jointly exposed to automation and immigration suffer earnings losses greater than those facing either shock in isolation. These losses are driven by downward occupational mobility into low-wage services and re-sorting into lower-premium firms. Even within the Norwegian welfare system, the ability of social insurance to offset these long-run earnings declines is limited. Our findings underscore the importance of analyzing labor market shocks jointly, rather than in isolation, to fully understand their distributional consequences." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

The integration of migrants in the German labour market: evidence over 50 years (2025)

Berbée, Paul & Jan Stuhler (2025): The integration of migrants in the German labour market: evidence over 50 years. In: Economic Policy, Jg. 40, H. 122, S. 481-549. DOI:10.1093/epolic/eiae040
Abstract
"SUMMARY: Germany has become the second-most important destination for migrants worldwide. Using all waves from the microcensus, we study their labur market integration over the last 50 years and highlight differences to the US case. Although the employment gaps between immigrant and native men decline after arrival, they remain large for most cohorts; the average gap after one decade is 10 percentage points. Conversely, income gaps tend to widen post-arrival. Compositional differences explain how those gaps vary across groups, and why they worsened over time; after accounting for composition, integration outcomes show no systematic trend. Still, economic conditions do matter, and employment collapsed in some cohorts after structural shocks hit the German labor market in the early 1990s. Lastly, we examine the integration of recent arrivals during the European refugee ‘crisis’ and the Russo-Ukrainian war." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In the public debate in Germany, it is often assumed that it is financially more attractive for migrants and refugees to remain on mean-tested benefits for unemployed people than to work. On the contrary: in Germany, there is no situation in which someone who works and takes advantage of all the transfers they are entitled to is worse off than someone who is not in employment."

A study of the employment and earnings outcomes of second-generation migrants (2025)

Das, Utsoree, Giulia Dellaferrera & Sevane Ananian (2025): A study of the employment and earnings outcomes of second-generation migrants. (ILO working paper / International Labour Organization 141), Geneva, 65 S. DOI:10.54394/mteq0041
Abstract
"This study examines the labour market outcomes of second-generation migrants in 32 countries (30 European countries, Australia and the United States of America). Drawing on data from labour force surveys and other household surveys contained in the ILO Microdata Repository, it focuses on labour force participation, unemployment, status in employment, wages and self-employment income. The results of the analysis reveal differences between second-generation migrants and other people born in the same country once the specific composition of that population group in terms of age and educational attainment is taken into account. Second-generation migrants generally exhibit lower labour market participation and higher unemployment rates, and they appear more likely to be employees than self-employed in several of the countries studied. With regard to earnings, on average across the countries studied, a small wage gap is observed between second-generation migrant workers and the rest of native-born workers, with wage premiums existing only in a few countries. The final chapter discusses relevant legal frameworks dealing with non-discrimination and employment that affect second-generation migrants." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Most studies on the labor market effects of immigration use repeated cross-sectional data to estimate the effects of immigration on regions. This paper shows that such regional effects are composites of effects that address fundamental questions in the immigration debate but remain unidentified with repeated cross-sectional data. We provide a unifying empirical Framework that decomposes the regional effects of immigration into their underlying components and show how these are identifiable from data that track workers over time. Our empirical application illustrates that such analysis yields a far more informative picture of immigration’s effects on wages, employment, and occupational upgrading."

Abstract
"This paper investigates how labor-market tightness affects market outcomes if firms use informal, self-enforcing, agreements to motivate workers. We characterize profit-maximising equilibria and show that an increase in the supply of homogeneous workers can increase wages. Moreover, even though all workers are identical in terms of skills or productivity, profit-maximising discrimination equilibria exist. There, a group of majority workers is paid higher wages than a group of minority workers, who may even be completely excluded. Minimum wages can reduce such discrimination and increase employment. We discuss how these results relate to empirical evidence on downward wage rigidity, immigration, the gender pay gap, and credentialism." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This study examines whether organizations with significant pay gaps along one dimension (gender, migration status, class, etc.) tend to exhibit similarly high inequalities along other dimensions, or whether there is a trade-off between inequality dimensions. Using French administrative data, it estimates correlations between class, gender and migrant workplace earnings gaps, and studies how these gaps also relate to a fourth measure of intra-categorical inequality. To ensure robust results, this article introduces innovative methods to address measurement biases that may distort the relationship between earnings gaps. It establishes three key patterns. First, the gender gap is higher in more unequal workplaces. Second, the migrant gap is higher in more equal workplaces. Third, gender and migrant earnings gaps are negatively correlated within workplaces. These results suggest that workplace inequality regimes are shaped by both reinforcing and trade-off dynamics. Finally, this article explores factors influencing these patterns and highlights the role of industries." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

In: Nature, Jg. 644, H. 8078, S. 969-975. DOI:10.1038/s41586-025-09259-6
Abstract
"Immigrants to high-income countries often face considerable and persistent difficulties in the labor market1–6, whereas their native-born children typically experience economic progress6–9. However, little is known about the extent to which these immigrant–native earnings differences stem from unequal pay when doing the same work for the same employer versus labor market processes that sort immigrants into lower-paid jobs. Here, using data from nine European and North American countries, we show that the segregation of workers with immigrant backgrounds into lower-paying jobs accounts for about three-quarters of overall immigrant–native earnings differences. Although within-job pay inequality remains notable for immigrants in several countries, our results demonstrate that unequal access to higher-paying jobs is the primary driver of the immigrant–native pay gap across a range of institutionally and demographically diverse contexts. These findings highlight the importance of policies aimed at reducing between-job segregation, such as language Training 10–13, job training1 3–15, job search assistance Programs 13,15, improving access to domestic education 13,16,17, recognizing foreign qualifications 18,19, and settlement programs aimed at enhancing access to job-relevant information and networks1 3,20,21. Policies that target employer bias in hiring and promotion decisions are also likely to be effective, whereas measures aimed at ensuring equal pay for equal work may have more limited scope for further progress in closing the immigrant–native pay gap 22–28. Data from nine European and North American countries reveal that the disparity in earnings between immigrants and natives is largely a result of segregation of immigrant workers into lower-paying jobs."

The effects of deferred action for childhood arrivals on labor market outcomes (2025)

Tran, Nhan (2025): The effects of deferred action for childhood arrivals on labor market outcomes. In: Journal of demographic economics, S. 1-30. DOI:10.1017/dem.2025.5
Abstract
"I study the effects of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) on labor market outcomes among potentially eligible immigrants. DACA allowed undocumented immigrants to participate in the labor market without fear of deportation, which might be expected to increase the probability of working and allowing workers to move to higher-skilled occupations. However, using a regression discontinuity design, I find very little to no effects on the probability of working and the likelihood of working in high-skilled jobs among DACA-eligible immigrants. The confidence intervals permit modest effects on these variables, but rule out large ones. My estimates are local, mainly applicable to older individuals close to the age threshold, and not broadly generalizable to younger DACA-eligible groups." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Immigrants in the Income Elite in Germany: The Role of Immigrant-Native Households (2025)

Abstract
"Although studying elites is a growing strand of scholarship in social sciences, the literature is mostly migration-blind. In this research note, we examine the role of household composition for immigrants' pathways to the elite of the household income distribution in Germany. Distinguishing between native-native, immigrant-native, and immigrant-immigrant households, we investigate the propensity of being in the income elite by household composition and whether education and self-employment, two major pathways into the income elite, differ by household composition. We hypothesize that immigrants in immigrant-native households benefit from their native partner's host-country resources and support. Using data from the German Microcensus from 2009 to 2019 covering around three million observations, we show that immigrant-native households have a higher propensity of belonging to the income elite compared to immigrant-immigrant households. Surprisingly, we find no differences between immigrant-native and native-native households. In addition, we demonstrate that the positive association between education, self-employment and elite membership is stronger for immigrant-native households compared to immigrant-immigrant households. Overall, our research note highlights the importance of the household context for immigrants' access to the income elite." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © Wiley) ((en))

Do works councils and collective agreements narrow Immigrant–native wage gaps for disadvantaged immigrant groups? Novel evidence from German-linked employer–employee data (2025)

Zimmermann, Florian, Tobias Wolbring & Eric Fong (2025): Do works councils and collective agreements narrow Immigrant–native wage gaps for disadvantaged immigrant groups? Novel evidence from German-linked employer–employee data. In: Socio-economic review, S. 1-26. DOI:10.1093/ser/mwaf046
Abstract
"Recently, workers’ bargaining power has been declining worldwide, and immigrant-native wage inequalities have been widening. In this context, cross-sectional studies show narrower immigrant–native wage gaps in firms with works councils or collective agreements. Yet, it remains unclear whether this correlation is causal. Leveraging German longitudinal linked employer–employee data covering 542 firms and 878,403 employee observations, we investigate whether collective agreements and works councils narrow within-firm immigrant–native wage gaps especially for disadvantaged immigrant groups, that is, immigrants from non-Western countries. Using firm-fixed effects with double-demeaned interaction effects, we find no evidence that works councils narrow immigrant–native wage gaps. However, collective agreements narrow immigrant–native wage gaps for immigrants from non-Western countries by 62.0 per cent but do not affect immigrants from Western countries. Overall, our results indicate that immigrant–native wage inequalities for disadvantaged immigrant groups in Germany would not have widened by 23.6 per cent if collective agreements remained as prevalent as in 1996."

Abstract
"How culture shapes individuals’ actions is a question at the heart of social sciences, but causal evidence on this topic is scarce, particularly for immigrants. In this research note, I investigate how the belief in Chinese zodiac signs, a cultural belief without scientific basis, influences wages of immigrants from Chinese societies Germany. I focus on the effect of the Dragon zodiac sign, the most auspicious sign. To estimate the causal effect of the Dragon zodiac on wages, I employ a sharp regression discontinuity design. I focus on immigrants from Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China, Singapore, and Taiwan (i.e., societies with ethnically Chinese majorities) born 12 weeks around Chinese New Year in the year of the Dragon. Using German administrative data from 125 individuals and 512 observations, I show that Dragons earn higher wages than non-Dragons in Germany. This wage premium is mediated by higher educational attainment of Dragons compared to non-Dragons. I do not find an effect of the Dragon zodiac sign on Germans’ wages. In summary, I show that origin-region culture shapes immigrants’ labor market success in the host region." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © Sage) ((en))

(2025): International Migration Outlook 2025. (International migration outlook 49), Paris, 439 S. DOI:10.1787/ae26c893-en
Abstract
"This publication constitutes the 49th report of the OECD’s Continuous Reporting System on Migration. The report is divided into six chapters plus a statistical annex. Chapter 1 provides a broad overview of recent trends in international migration flows. It also analyses recent changes on the labour market inclusion of immigrants in OECD countries. Chapter 2 monitors recent changes in migration policies, while Chapter 3 looks at the recent changes in policies that support the integration of immigrants and their children. Chapter 4 looks at the role of firms in immigrant integration. It sheds new light on the role of firms in shaping the immigrant earnings gap using linked employer-employee data for 15 OECD countries. The chapter starts by documenting the immigrant earnings gap at entry in the labour market and the extent to which it is driven by immigrants working disproportionately in lower-paying firms, industries and occupations. It then analyses how the earnings gap evolves as immigrants integrate into the labour market by moving to better-paying firms, industries and occupations. The implications for immigrant integration policy are discussed in the conclusion. Chapter 5 is the result of a co‑operation between the OECD and the WHO in the context of the “Working for Health” programme. It examines the evolution of international migration of health professionals, specifically doctors and nurses, to OECD countries since 2000/01, in the context of growing workforce shortages and increasing global competition for talent. The chapter considers the implications for countries of origin, including the risk of brain drain, and highlights the importance of ethical recruitment practices. Finally, it explores recent changes in migration policies affecting health professionals, as well as developments in the recognition of foreign qualifications and licensing across the OECD. Chapter 6 presents succinct country-specific notes and statistics on developments in international migration movements and policies in OECD and selected non-OECD countries in recent years. Lastly, the statistical annex includes a broad selection of recent and historical statistics on immigrant flows, asylum requests, foreign and foreign-born populations, and naturalisation."

Immigration, monopsony and the distribution of firm pay (2024)
Zitatform
Amior, Michael & Jan Stuhler (2024): Immigration, monopsony and the distribution of firm pay. (CEP discussion paper / Centre for Economic Performance 1971), London, 89 S.
Abstract
"We argue that the arrival of immigrants with low reservation wages can strengthen the monopsony power of firms. Firms can exploit "cheap" migrant labor by offering lower wages, though at the cost of forgoing potential native hires who demand higher wages. This monopsonistic trade-off can lead to large negative effects on native employment, which exceed those in competitive models, and which are concentrated among low-paying firms. To validate these predictions, we study changes in wage premia and employment across the firm pay distribution, during a large immigration wave in Germany. These adverse effects are not inevitable and may be ameliorated through policies which constrain firms' monopsony power over migrants." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
