"EFFECT OF EXPECTED INCOME ON INDIVIDUAL MIGRATIONS DECISIONS AND LABOUR MARKET IN CAMEROON" by Feubi Pamen, Eric Patrick Abstract It exits an extensive economics literature on migrations, their determinants, their costs and outcome. Recent works also highlighted ways of measuring expected returns to migration, in accessing the role of migration network in actual migration flows and in evaluating the effect of migration on household’s wellbeing. The economic consequences of migration have also been the central topics of labor economics with various distributional effects being considered in term of potential relationship between migration and inequality, although the distributional effects of migration drive public attitudes towards immigration. It is also usually took into account relationships between economic inequality, skill and quantity of available labor force, international migration both from the perspective of developing world producing outflows of migrants and the one of developed countries receiving inflow of migrants. At the best of our knowledge very few authors emphasis on the decisions of people in developing countries as far as migrations are concerned as per regard with labor market. The aim of this paper is to put on evidence effect of expected income on individual migrations decisions and the labor market in a developing economy like Cameroon. Theoretically, we assume that migration contributes to a better re-allocation of resources and impact on monetary welfare since it induces remittances. Those remittances are usually for current consumption purposes for individuals or households receiving it. In addition, the re-distributional effects of migrations usually influence the skill and pattern composition of labor market in the receiving and sending countries. We assume a modified and adapted version of the insider-outsider theoretical model where we consider three different groups of migrants as per regard with their initial situation. They are people already employed in their native country and with a high skilled labor, those with an average skill and not employed ... |
