Abstract: Throughout the world, some countries consider immigration policies to address labor supply difficulties. Particularly because OECD countries typically have an aging society with fewer children, immigration policies are examined continually. Our paper sets a two-sector model, with a high-skill sector and a low-skill sector, for assessment of immigration policies of two types: immigration for the high-skill sector and immigration for the low-skill sector. Results obtained from our study show that immigration has a positive effect on employment of the native people or a negative effect depending on production technologies used in the economy.
