The effect of migration on the labor market outcomes of the sender household: a longitudinal approach using data from Nicaragua

Ver portada
In this paper, I use longitudinal data from the 1998 and 2001 Living Standard Measurement Surveys in Nicaragua to examine the impact of the emigration of household members on the household labor market integration and poverty. The main findings of the paper are that households from which an emigrant left had a reduction in members, a reduction in working members, a reduction in labor income than otherwise similar households. However, those households also had a reduction in poverty. This finding is a result of the different patterns of migration from Nicaragua to the United States and Costa Rica. Households with emigrants to Costa Rica tend to be poorer, to have emigrants that were working prior to migration, and to have the greatest relative improvements in poverty following emigration.
