?:abstract
  • We compare literacy skills and relative wage and employment outcomes of Australian, Canadian and U.S. immigrants. We find substantially higher immigrant skill levels at the lower end of the distribution in Australia, especially among recent arrivals, but little difference at the top. In addition, we identify larger wage returns to immigrant skill in the U.S., which we argue reflects language-skill complementarities. Our results suggest that the benefit of a point system lies in its potential to limit unskilled immigration, rather than in raising skills at the upper end of the distribution where the growth potential of immigration is likely greatest.
