Over 75m immigrants are living in OECD countries, helping to fill vital skills gaps, but creating the potential for social unrest they fail to find work or are perceived to be taking jobs from others, the OECD warned in a report on Wednesday.

Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, said: “OECD governments need to do more to help immigrants integrate and make better use of their skills. This in turn will help reduce the risk of political backlash against immigrants.”
