Paris, France, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 1987. :38-63. Abstract: Many developed countries wish to restrict immigration in order to protect nationals. For less-desirable positions, however, it is often difficult to replace a foreign worker by a national. Thus, immigration is tolerated. A more flexible labor market with increased inter-sectoral and inter-occupational mobility would require modifying the status or content of existing jobs and creating new ones. Managing new flows of both skilled and unskilled legal immigrants and containing illegal immigration remain problems. Given the complexity of current migratory dynamics, xenophobia, and periods of unemployment, it is not easy to reconcile the needs of the economy, the economic, political and social integration of foreigners, and public discontent. A wait-and-see policy is often adopted in preference to a proper labor force reallocation policy which might adversely affect certain categories of national worker.
