Going Back Home: Internal Return Migration in Rural Tanzania
利用坦桑尼亚农村19年追踪数据，研究回迁移民的模式和决定因素，发现回迁主要与迁移失败相关：男性因就业不佳、女性因婚姻结束而返回。
While reasons for out-migration are relatively well understood, little is known about why people return to their rural origins. We contribute to filling this gap in the literature by using 19-year tracking data from rural Tanzania to estimate the patterns and determinants of return migration, and we find that return is largely associated with unsuccessful migration. For men, return is linked to poor job-market outcomes at the migration destination, and for women, to the ending of marriages. Female migrants who exchange transfers with relatives at home, and men who are financially supported by their families, are more likely to return.
