I estimate the effect of international migration on the human capital of children in the migrants’ origin country. I use an original administrative dataset containing all migrant departures from the Philippines and exploit variation across provinces in destination-country demand for migrants. My estimates are at the local labor market level, allowing for spillovers to non-migrant households. An...

Considerable research attention has focused on the labor market impacts of immigration, the operation and competitiveness of the European Union (EU) labor market, and the expenditures and advantages of labor circulation for sending and receiving economies. The aim of the present study is to examine and evaluate the negative social consequences arising from the mobility of workers, the social an...

Intra-Household Labor Supply, Migration, and Subsistence Constraints in a Risky Environment: Evidence from Rural El Salvador We use panel data from El Salvador to investigate migration and the intra-household allocation of labor as a strategy for coping with uninsured risk. Consistent with a model of a farm household with a binding subsistence constraint, we show that adverse agricultural produ...

This paper presents a stochastic model to forecast the German population and labor supply until 2060. Within a cohort-component approach, our population forecast applies principal components analysis to birth, mortality, emigration, and immigration rates, which allows for the reduction of dimensionality and accounts for correlation of the rates. Labor force participation rates are estimated by ...

With full labor mobility, microcredit may finance production inputs that increase household labor demand and reduce migration. However, when migration is constrained by liquidity, access to credit may increase both migration and household business activity, yielding greater potential income gains. This study empirically examines the impacts of credit access on migration using data from a random...

Outsourcing has been increasing in recent years as more firms in the developed countries have decided to outsource part of their production activities to their subsidiaries or local firms in the developing countries. Outsourcing either reduces a firm’s cost of labor or gives a firm better access to the local market so as to gain a larger market share. This rise in outsourcing activities has cre...

This article presents six case studies of the experiences of Turkish women whose husbands were labor migrants. The article opens with an overview of labor emigration from Turkey to developed countries in Europe starting in the early 1960s and continues with a review of the literature that considers migrant women as an analytical category. The literature review then addresses the prevalent emp...
