As it happened with international trade and investment flows, global financial crisis also negatively influenced the international immigration tendencies. Immigrants are usually employed in sectors that are more sensitive to crises with more temporary and part-time jobs. These are mostly less skilled occupations where immigrants usually face discriminative treatment in hiring and layoffs. That is why, following the onset of global recession the migration to the economically advanced regions decreased immediately. During the first period of global economic crisis governments in different countries also implemented a set of policies to prevent the inflow of new migrants and force the existing immigrants to leave in order to provide more job opportunities for their citizens. This paper investigates how the changes of economic structure, policies and public opinion in most of the advanced countries have affected on global immigration since the global financial crisis. The work provides an empirical estimation of the impact of different crisis related factors on international migration since 2008-2009 for OECD countries.
