The 2024 edition of International Migration Outlook analyses recent developments in migration movements and the labour market inclusion of immigrants in OECD countries. It also monitors recent policy changes in migration governance and integration in OECD countries. This 48th edition includes one special chapter on migrant entrepreneurship. The Outlook also includes country notes and a detailed statistical annex.
