Intra-Household Labour Allocation, Migration, and Remittances in Rural El Salvador
利用萨尔瓦多农村面板数据，研究发现移民和汇款对家庭内部劳动力重新配置的影响较小，但会提高女性农业劳动参与和工时，减少非农和家务劳动时间。
Migration can affect labour participation decisions back home, either by stimulating work to replace foregone labour, or reducing it through the role of remittances. Using evidence from a rural panel for El Salvador with a comprehensive module on agricultural income shocks, this study finds that migration and remittances generate only minor labour reallocation effects within households. Contradicting previous evidence based on cross section data, no impact is registered for off-farm labour supply. However, remittances and migration tend to increase female participation and hours worked in agricultural activities, and reduce time dedicated to off-farm and domestic activities. No major effects are found on self-employment.
