The economic and demographic determinants of international migration in Rural Egypt
利用埃及农村数据，估计了国际移民的经济和人口决定因素模型，发现教育与移民并非正相关，收入与移民呈倒U型关系，贫困和无地男性移民倾向最高。
This study uses data collected in rural Egypt to estimate a micro‐level model of the economic and demographic determinants of international migration. This model uses predicted income functions to establish origin incomes (incomes excluding remittances). Three findings are noteworthy. First, the results suggest that education may not necessarily be positively correlated with migration. Second, the data indicate that the relationship between income and migration is that of a flat, inverted U‐shaped curve. Third, when the combined effects of income and land are considered, males from poor and landless households have the highest propensity to migrate. Poverty and landlessness combine to push rural Egyptians to work abroad.
