Following the signing of the LUXTALENT agreement in March 2025, the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER), at the request of the Ministry of the Economy, conducted a study on the attraction and retention of newly arrived immigrants and cross-border workers in the Luxembourg labor market.
The first part of the study analyzed the inflows and outflows of newly arrived workers in the labor market from 2002 to 2024. The findings show a growing, increasingly diverse, and mobile international workforce. However, it also highlights low retention rates.
