Return Migration and the Age Profile of Retirement Among Immigrants

چکیده
Abstract: We analyze the relationship between return migration rates and the age profile of retirement within immigrant populations. Our simple theoretical model illustrates that under reasonable conditions the probability of return migration is maximized at retirement. This implies that different immigrant populations will have different retirement profiles, not only because individual retirement behavior differs, but also because the propensity for return migration varies. Consistent with our theoretical model, we estimate a negative relationship between immigrants’ retirement status and the return migration rate of their fellow countrymen. As theory suggests, this link is strongest for immigrants who are near the retirement age.
