回顾了拉丁美洲和加勒比地区移民到美国的历史,发现当前移民潮与19世纪早期移民潮相似,且推动移民的人口和经济因素在多数来源国已减弱,疫情后移民持续放缓可能扰乱美国多个区域劳动力市场。

Abstract

The share of US residents who were born in Latin America and the Caribbean plateaued recently, after a half century of rapid growth. Our review of the evidence on the US immigration wave from the region suggests that it bears many similarities to the major immigration waves of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, that the demographic and economic forces behind Latin American migrant inflows appear to have weakened across most sending countries, and that a continued slowdown of immigration from Latin America post-pandemic has the potential to disrupt labor-intensive sectors in many US regional labor markets.
