Factors that influence immigration to OECD member States

This study aims to identify factors related to the Immigration rates experienced by OECD member states, it focused on “net immigration rates” as the main dependent variable. We considered that “Demand- Pull” factors that trigger variations on the immigration rates are perceived economic stability and their socio-political stance toward immigrants. Even though the two of the proposed hypothesis in this study were rejected, other variables which seem to have a greater impact on migration, such a trade and globalization were identified. As the indices globalization increase, the rates of immigration seem to increase, in contrast there is a negative correlation between the variable trade and immigration, findings that seemed to be supported by empirical evidence provided by other scholars presented in this report.
