Firstly, as was noted in Chapter 3, this is because the employment-to-population ratio of the foreign-bom population is higher than that of the native-born (60.8% versus 36.0% in 2011). Secondly, the share of the population that is of working-age is also higher for immigrants than for the native-born (91.7% versus 69.5% in 2011). Furthermore, as demonstrated in Chapter 4, immigration does not seem to reduce employment of native-born workers (at the national level).
