Tabla de Contenidos: “…Civic integration trajectories remain mostly sequential, protracting the time migrants spent outside of the labour market, and a stronger involvement of the PES at early stages would help in addressing this shortcoming -- Responsibilities for integration are shared by many actors, highlighting the need for more effective co-operation and co-ordination in integration efforts -- The data infrastructure is highly developed -- Difficult access to housing complicates newcomers' integration pathways -- Flanders' emphasis on rapid labour market integration can create a conflict with the goal of sustainable employment -- The public employment service offers various activation measures to support jobseekers' employment entry, but immigrants and their children benefit less from the measures that work best -- Participation in vocational language training should be further expanded -- Given the low education levels of many new arrivals, adult education needs to be more central to integration efforts -- Further improvements in the recognition process of foreign qualifications are needed -- Validation of professional qualifications is a promising pathway, but needs to be expanded and better targeted at migrants -- Bridging offers need to be streamlined and scaled up -- Migrant women are struggling to integrate, and many remain locked in inactivity, pointing to the need for second chance offers -- Family policies should be made more accessible for migrant mothers -- Wage subsidies form an important element in Flanders' approach to tackle demand-side barriers to employment, but immigrants are underrepresented -- The service voucher scheme gradually became an important employer of migrant women, but traps many highly qualified migrant women in subsidised domestic work…”

Tabla de Contenidos: “…Intro -- Foreword -- Executive summary -- 1 Introduction -- Background and methodology -- Structure -- 2 Tax revenues and income levels -- Chile's GDP per capita remains relatively low, despite its relative convergence with the OECD average over the past 30 years -- Chile's tax-to-GDP remains among the lowest in the OECD, despite its convergence with the OECD over recent years -- Tax-to-GDP ratios are weakly positively correlated with income levels, but there is significant heterogeneity across countries and outliers drive the relationship -- 3 Tax structures Chile's tax structure differs significantly from the OECD average, it is more concentrated in VAT and CIT revenues and less so in PIT and SSC revenues -- Some aspects of Chile's tax structure are atypical such as the small role of SSCs and the large role of compulsory contributions to the private sector -- Compulsory contributions to the private sector play a role in several OECD countries -- Chile's tax-to-GDP ratio remains relatively low, regardless of whether SSCs are excluded or contributions to private sector are included Since 1990, Chile narrowed the tax-to-GDP gap with the OECD relatively faster when the tax-to-GDP is adjusted to account for Chile's atypical tax structure -- Broadly similar tax rates in Chile and the OECD point to low tax revenues driven by a narrow tax base, particularly in the case of PIT -- 4 Tax convergence -- A growing tax-to-GDP over time has been the historical norm across countries on average, but is far from guaranteed in individual countries -- Evidence points to tax convergence among countries over time Empirical evidence supports the notion that low tax-to-GDP OECD countries catch-up over time (beta convergence) -- Chile's tax mix has converged slowly with the OECD average tax mix, but more slowly than individual countries (sigma convergence) -- Chile's tax structure differs significantly from the OECD average -- Chile's tax structure gap with the OECD is driven by VAT and PIT, when contributions to the private sector are included in SSCs -- Some evidence suggests that lower income countries have the potential for faster subsequent tax-to-GDP growth -- 5 A tax-to-GDP ratio path for the future Chile's tax-to-GDP is low when compared with countries when they were at a similar level of economic development to Chile -- A decade after OECD countries had similar incomes to Chile, the tax-to-GDP ratio had risen by three percentage points -- While Chile's tax-to-GDP ratio path may have been set to rise, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic conditions have raised new challenges -- References -- Notes…”
