Immigration has become a controversial issue around the world and in Chile. However, it is important to consider its benefits for the host country’s human capital pool. The OECD periodically compiles a talent attraction index that measures which countries are most attractive to highly skilled workers. Who tops the list in Latin America?
Chile ranks 32nd out of the 38 countries listed, but ahead of Colombia (35), Mexico (36), and Costa Rica (38). New Zealand tops the ranking, followed by Sweden, Switzerland, and Australia. You can view the ranking at https://www.oecd.org/migration/talent-attractiveness/
