Factors Relating to Immigrants’ Contributions to Economic Growth in a Country: A Literature Review

Abstract

Immigrants play an essential role in the economies of many countries worldwide. This literature review examines and synthesizes existing research on several factors related to the contribution of immigrants to economic growth in a country. This literature review also highlights the complex interplay of factors that impact immigrants’ ability to contribute to economic growth. They bring new skills, ideas, innovations, and perspectives, contributing to economic growth. However, the factors that lead to immigrants’ contributions to economic growth are complex and multifaceted. It suggests that policies that support language learning, gender consideration, legal status, social integration, industry-specific training, and cultural diversity can enhance the economic contributions of immigrants to a country’s economy.
