Fertility changes and replacement migration

Economics Letters, 2020, vol. 196, issue C

Abstract: We study OECD countries that differ in immigration policies but share a high level of human capital. We find significant negative statistical relationship between 16 years lagged fertility and the rate of immigration in a panel of 23 countries, which indicates that immigration compensates for low fertility in the labor market.
