OECD countries are increasingly competing to attract highly skilled migrants to fill skill shortages and support economic growth and innovation. The OECD Indicators of Talent Attractiveness (ITA), first released in 2019, is a benchmarking tool to compare how countries fare in attracting talented migrants. This paper describes the methodology and key outcomes of the second edition of ITA. The second edition includes some minor adjustments to the original framework and two important extensions: the inclusion of an optional new dimension capturing health system performance, as well as a new ranking for international start-up founders.
