Excerpt:

[with a sample of 30 diverse States] Methodologically, our article sets the groundwork for an alternative way to observe “skills” when comparing labor migration pathways across countries. Substantially, our analyses show that a) selections at admission have consequential effects on the paths of migrants and b) contrary to what is normally assumed, several countries provide rights to ample groups of migrants regardless of skills, so an alternative to what has been observed in the OECD is not only possible but exists.
