Abstract	"With the 2000 round of censuses (...) virtually all OECD countries have incorporated in their census a question on the country of birth of persons enumerated, as well as on their nationality. With this information, it is possible to provide, for the first time, a detailed, comparable and reliable picture of immigrant populations within OECD countries, reflecting the cumulative effect of movements within and to the OECD zone over the past decades. Not only can immigrant populations be compared on a common basis across countries, but the extent of migration from a single source country to each OECD country as well as to OECD countries as a whole can be determined. And with additional information on the educational attainment of migrants, flows of human capital can be depicted and, in particular, the conventional wisdom on the brain drain confronted with actual data.; This paper is divided into four sections. The first section describes the new database that is the source of the information in this chapter. The second section presents the basic results derived from the new database on immigrants and expatriates in OECD. The third and fourth sections will discuss in detail the results on expatriates from OECD and non-member countries. The fifth section provides an overview of recent policy measures related to movements of the highly skilled in OECD countries. A summary and conclusions follow." Die Untersuchung enthält quantitative Daten. Forschungsmethode: deskriptive Studie; Dokumentation. Die Untersuchung bezieht sich auf den Zeitraum 1995 bis 2001. (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku).
