First, the process of adjusting to a new country and finding employment can be challenging, particularly for immigrants who arrive without an arranged job, strong language skills, or strong professional networks. These barriers can make it difficult for immigrants to find work, particularly in the short term.

Second, discrimination can also play a role. Despite laws against it, discrimination can occur in hiring and wage-setting. This can lead to immigrants being unemployed or under-employed relative to their qualifications.

Third, immigrants often have less familiarity with the labor market in their new country, which can limit their ability to find job opportunities.

Finally, many developed countries, including those in Europe and North America, have seen a significant increase in inequality in recent decades, which has led to higher rates of poverty and exclusion. Immigrants are often more vulnerable to these trends because they typically have fewer resources and less social capital to draw upon.

To improve these outcomes, it's important for countries to take steps to facilitate immigrants' integration into their labor markets. This can include measures such as language training, recognition of foreign qualifications, anti-discrimination policies, and efforts to promote inclusiveness and diversity in workplaces.
