Type: article
Abstract: How Immigrants Contribute to Developing Countries’ Economies, published by the OECD and ILO in 2018, offers a comprehensive analysis of the economic impact of immigration on developing countries. This report, a collaborative effort by the OECD Development Centre and the International Labour Organization, examines the multifaceted roles that immigrants play in the economies of ten partner countries, ranging from Argentina to Thailand. By employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the study illuminates how labor migration influences labor markets, economic growth, and public finance in these diverse contexts. The report also provides critical policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the positive contributions of immigrants to their host countries' development. This review adopts a Five C's approach developed by Ulum (2024)—Context, Content, Critical Analysis, Comparisons, and Conclusion—to thoroughly evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and broader implications of this seminal work.
