Our objective in this research is to provide empirical evidence relating to the
linkages between gender equality and international emigration. Two theoretical
hypotheses can be made for the purpose of analyzing such linkages. The fi rst
is that gender inequality in origin countries could be a push factor for women.
The second one is that gender inequality may create a \gender bias" in the
selection of migrants within a household or a community. An improvement of
gender equality would then increase female migration. We build several original
indices of gender equality using principal component analysis. Our empirical
results show that the push factor hypothesis is clearly rejected. All else held
constant, improving gender equality in the workplace is positively correlated
with the migration of women, especially of the high-skilled. We observe the
opposite e ffect for low-skilled men. This result is robust to several speci
cations and to various
measurements of gender equality.
Keywords: Migration ; Gender Inequality ; core labor standards

As recent efforts to reform immigration policy at the federal level have
failed, states have started to take immigration matters into their own hands
and researchers have been paying closer attention to state dynamics surrounding
immigration policy. Yet, to this date, there is not a clear understanding of
the consequences of enforcing E-verify on likely unauthorized immigrants and on
native-born workers across the United States. This study aims to fill in that
gap by analyzing the impact that the enactment of various types of E-verify
mandates may have on the employment and wages of these two populations. We find
that the enactment of both universal and public-sector only mandates reduce
employment of likely unauthorized workers. Meanwhile, employment verification
does not affect naturalized Hispanic workers but increases the employment
likelihood of native workers. Impacts on wages are positive for likely
unauthorized women suggesting a large labor
supply reduction. For native-born workers, hourly wages also increase and
provide some evidence of substitutability of unauthorized immigrants and
non-Hispanic natives.

We match migration data from the Indian census with climate data to test the
hypothesis of climate variability as a push factor for internal migration. The
main contribution of the analysis is to introduce relevant meteorological
indicators of climate variability, based on the standardized precipitation
index. Gravity-type estimations derived from a utility maximization approach
cannot reject the null hypothesis that the frequency of drought acts as a push
factor on inter-state migration in India. The effect is significant for both
male and female migration rates. Drought duration and magnitude as well as
flood events are never statistically significant.

This article investigates the relationship between migrants' destination
choices and the formal labor market access afforded by multiple potential host
countries in the context of the EU's eastward enlargement. We use an index of
labor market access laws combined with data on migration from new EU member
states into the existing states of the EU and EFTA from 2004 through 2010 to
test whether (1) migrants are attracted to destinations that give them greater
formal labor market access, and (2) migration flows to any given destination
are influenced by the labor market policies of competing destinations. Our data
support both propositions: Migration between origin/destination pairs was
positively associated with the loosening of destination labor market
restrictions while negatively associated with the loosening of competing
destinations' labor market restrictions. These relationships hold even when
economic indicators, social welfare spending, and
existing immigrant stocks are modeled. By combining rich EU data with a unique
approach to evaluating competing legal regimes, the analysis helps us better
understand how law shapes migration in a multidestination world.

We analyze the socio-economic determinants of youth decision to internally
migrate in Senegal. Young people undertake mostly rural-to-rural and
urban-to-urban migrations and over half of them are temporary migrants. Using
multinomial logit models, we estimate the role of household and community
characteristics during childhood in later youth migration decisions. We find
that these determinants are heterogeneous by gender and destination. The higher
the fathers' education the more (less) likely are their daughters to move to
urban (rural) areas. Young individuals, who spend their childhood in better off
households, are more likely to move to urban areas. Also, the presence of
younger siblings increases the propensity of moving to rural areas. Access to
primary schools during childhood decreases the likelihood of migrating to urban
areas for both men and women.

We study the labor market impact of opening borders to low-wage countries. The
analysis exploits time and regional variation provided by the 2004 EU
enlargement in combination with transport links to Sweden from the new member
states. The results suggest an adverse impact on earnings of present workers in
the order of 1 percent in areas close to pre-existing ferry lines. The effects
are present in most segments of the labor market but tend to be greater in
groups with weaker positions. The impact is also clearer in industries which
have received more workers from the new member states, and for which
across-the-border work is likely to be more common. There is no robust evidence
on an impact on employment or wages. At least part of the effects is likely due
to channels other than the ones typically considered in the literature.

7. Over-education among A8 migrants in the UK
Date: 2013-05-30

Education, University of London)

I present new evidence on the incidence and wage associations of over-education
among migrants to the UK from the ‘A8’ EU accession countries of Central
and Eastern Europe from 2004-2011. Using the Labour Force Survey, I employ a
novel strategy to maximise the number of migrants drawn from the dataset over
the period of interest, creating a survey sample of A8 migrants of
unprecedented size. I also use a new method of classifying education attained
outside the UK, which takes account of different European education systems. I
find that A8 migrants face a substantially higher risk of over-education in the
UK than other recent EU migrants, and that this additional risk remains after
taking account of observed characteristics. I argue that this result is driven
by unobserved differences between the groups, arising from distinct
self-selection processes associated with the institutional context of the EU
accession. I also find that in
non-graduate occupations, the wage penalties faced by A8 migrants in the UK
are of such strength that even the over-educated are paid less than matched UK
nationals. Moreover, A8 migrants are concentrated in a particular sub-group of
occupations, where higher wages are not available for the over-educated.

This paper examines the causality relationship between immigration,
unemployment and economic growth of the host country. We employ the panel
Granger causality testing approach of Konya (2006) that is based on SUR systems
and Wald tests with country specific bootstrap critical values. This approach
allows to test for Granger-causality on each individual panel member separately
by taking into account the contemporaneous correlation across countries. Using
annual data over the 1980-2005 period for 22 OECD countries, we find that, only
in Portugal, unemployment negatively causes immigration, while in any country,
immigration does not cause unemployment. On the other hand, our results show
that, in four countries (France, Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom),
growth positively causes immigration, whereas in any country, immigration does
not cause growth.

The aim of this paper is to outline differences in the socio-demographic and
employment characteristics of Estonian people who have worked in a neighbouring
country – Finland, Sweden, Latvia or Russia. The empirical part of this paper
relies on data from CV Keskus – an online employment portal bringing together
jobseekers and vacant job posts. The results of our analysis show that
different destination regions – the wealthier countries of Finland and Sweden
(referred to as East-West mobility) and Latvia and Russia (referred to as
East-East mobility) have attracted workers with different personal and
job-related characteristics. Ethnicity and higher education are important
determinants in explaining differences between East-West and East-East labour
flows. Non-Estonians and people with a higher education have been less likely
to work in Finland or Sweden.
Keywords: geographic labour mobility, neighbouring countries, cross-country
labour flows, Estonia

Using a simple theoretical model, we show that the level of migration costs
relative to wealth determines the form of the relation between income and
migration intentions, which can be monotonically decreasing, increasing, or
inverse U-shaped. Using unique individual level data, covering three geographic
regions—sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America—we show that migration
intentions do indeed respond to individual wealth, and that the patterns differ
across the country groups studied in a manner compatible with the predictions
of our model. Further, contentment with various dimensions of local amenities
plays an important role for migration decisions.

This paper examines empirically the interaction between immigration and host
country economic conditions. We employ a panel VAR techniques to use a large
annual dataset on 22 OECD countries over the period 1987-2009. The VAR approach
allows to addresses the endogeneity problem by allowing the endogenous
interaction between the variables in the system. Our results provide evidence
of migration contribution to host economic prosperity (positive impact on GDP
per capita and negative impact on aggregate unemployment, native- and
foreign-born unemployment rates). We also find that migration is influenced by
host economic conditions (migration responds positively to host GDP per capita
and negatively to host total unemployment rate).

Cet article propose une évaluation quantitative des interactions entre d'une
part, le Produit Intérieur Brut (PIB) par habitant et le taux de chômage, et
d'autre part, l'immigration permanente en France métropolitaine sur la période
1994-2008. L'immigration est mesurée par les titres de séjour de plus d'un an
accordés aux étrangers en provenance des pays tiers et est décomposée par
motifs d'admission. L'estimation de modèles vectoriels autorégressifs (VAR)
donne les résultats suivants. Le taux d'immigration, et en particulier
d'immigration familiale, a un effet positif et significatif sur le PIB par
habitant, tandis que les effets de l'immigration sur le chômage ne sont pas
significatifs. Par ailleurs, le PIB par habitant a un effet positif et
significatif sur le taux d'immigration et le taux de chômage à un effet négatif
et significatif sur le taux d'immigration de travail.
Keywords: immigration;croissance;Modèles VAR
