Tied Migration and Subsequent Employment: Evidence from Couples in Britain*
利用英国夫妻迁移行为与原因的独特数据,发现因工作原因迁移的夫妻中,丈夫和妻子的工作保留率均低于非迁移者,且捆绑迁移对妻子就业的负面影响尤为显著。
Abstract We use unique information on migration behaviour and reasons for migration to study the impact of tied migration on labour market outcomes among husbands and wives. Fewer than 2% of couples migrate for job‐related reasons and the majority of these move for reasons associated with the husband's job. Estimates from dynamic random‐effects models indicate that husbands and wives in couples that migrated for job‐related reasons suffer lower job retention rates than non‐migrants. Tied migration reduces the probability of subsequent employment for both husbands and wives and in particular has a large negative impact on job retention rates among wives.
