The OECD is set to release a comprehensive report on migration today, showing that Australia, Canada and New Zealand – all countries which have skilled migrant schemes in place – have seen the fastest population growth over recent years. But the US and the UK remained the biggest destination countries, receiving nearly one million and 300,000 respectively. Despite stricter asylum laws in Europe, following the Dublin Convention and a move toward tougher legislation, France has replaced the US as the “most important destination country for asylum seeking,” the BBC quotes the report. 50,000 asylum seekers entered France in 2005. The full OECD report can be downloaded here, while a summary is available on the BBC News website.
