Summary/Abstract: In most OECD countries immigrants have lower employment and higher unemployment than natives. The gap in the labour market outcomes is larger in countries with more immigrant friendly attitudes. This paper suggests that in countries where labour market institutions are less competitive, native workers face less direct wage competition from immigration.
