Tiivistelmä:In this paper, the economic performance of immigrants is documented in a country characterized by an extensive welfare state and a short immigration history. Upon arrival, immigrants to Finland have notably lower employment rates than comparable natives. While they experience rapid employment growth, only men from OECD countries catch up with natives. In spite of the persisting employment and earnings differences btw. non-OECD immigrants and natives, the differences in income transfers disappear in approximately 20 years. The employment gaps btw. immigrants and natives are larger in Finland than in Australia, Canada, or the United States (USA).
