Younoussa, Imani. "Envois de fonds et pauvreté : le cas des Comores." Thesis, Bordeaux 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011BOR40028/document.
Full textThe target of this study is to measure the impact of the remittances on the poverty. The remittances to Comoros were evaluated to 113 Usd million in 2010, thus representing 24 percent of the GDP. The remittances are by far, the first external resource of the Comoros, in front of public Aid, which represents only approximately 10 percent of the GDP. The Comorian migrants, who send funds, are composed by a great majority of the employees with weak qualification (66 percent). Reciprocally, about half of the recipients, are resulting from the poor classes. The “Grand marriage” is the principal reason for remittances. Two methods of analysis were developed in this study: one descriptive and the other one, econometric. The econometric approach regards the remittances as an endogenous data, resulting from a “implicit contract” between the migrants and the recipients. The conclusion of the study is as follows: the remittances contribute to the reduction of the indices of poverty in Comoros. The effect on the inequalities is mitigated. The incidence of poverty (P0) drops by -3,5 percent, under the effect of the remittances. The depth (P1) and severity (P2) drop respectively by -7,4 percent, and -5,8 percent with the remittances. The remittances have more impact on poverty of the following categories of the households: those alive in rural areas, those alive in Grand Comore, those directed by the women, the unemployeds and the inactives. The categories of the households which are received the most remittances in terms of expenditure per capita, records the most impact on poverty reduction

Full textMigrations are a transnational phenomenon that its management has traditionally called attention from the destination states exercising its sovereignty. With the arrival of globalization, the migration perspective has changed. Migrations have an increasingly more important place in the government’s agenda, which has understood that migration management needed the cooperation and the joint action at an international level. The governance of migration involves multiple challenges for the destination countries as well as the countries of origin and for the international community. On one hand, it presents the interest of controlling the arrival of migrants, with a strong influence of security conceptions; on the other hand other ideas have immerged that consider migration as tools for development. Those ideas aim to profit from the effects that are considered as benefits of migration and to stop the negative effects. Finally, we consider the existence of the circumstances that can put in danger migrant’s human rights and for which some measures should be taken. Reconciling the interests surrounding the management of migration is not a simple task. For finding ideal management framework for the governance of migration and the protection of migrant’s human rights, we will explore 5 hypotheses. We will analyze the global administration of migration; the regional administration (in the framework of Latin America); the protection of migrants as vulnerable people having universal rights, as well as the protection from the migrant’s state of origin (in the particular case of Colombia). The assets and the challenges of each one of those discussion environments will be analyzed as well as its contributions to migration’s governance and migrant’s protection

Full textThis thesis studies the impacts of remittances in migrants' origin countries. Six different chapters focus on economic growth, volatility and public policies. The first chapter aims to estimate the impacts of remittances on growth through several channels: households' consumption, investment and exports. It is shown that remittances stimulate internal demand, while exports are reduced. The second chapter proposes a stock-flow consistent model for Moldova and suggests that remittances spread external shocks to the Moldovan economy. Chapter three shows that migrants' concentration in few host countries, as well as their instability, increase the volatility of remittances. Chapter four stresses that instable remittances enhance output growth volatility in migrants' origin countries when associated with important trade flows between both origin and destination countries. The fifth chapter focuses on public health spending and shows that remittances increase out-of-pocket health expenditure while crowding-out public health expenditure. The last chapter highlights the role of remittances on the economic development of Moldova. It suggests that both households and government revenues depend on remittances, whose fluctuations cast doubts about the economic sustainability of the Moldovan model of development

Full textThis research focuses on the migrants’ remittances to Turkey. Migration and remittances dynamics of the country and the main determinants of remittances are studied at microeconomic and macroeconomic levels. The main contribution of this thesis is the analysis of two recent surveys carried out in France in order to better understand the remitting behaviour of migrants. Thanks to detailed individual level data, different populations such as first and second generation migrants are analysed separately, as well as different types of transfers such as remittances sent to support households as opposed to collective projects. Although no evidence is found for repayment of loans hypothesis at microeconomic level, altruistic and exchange related motivations can be observed. Collective transfers are more determined by attachment to the home country, intention to return home and being member of a home country association. The results of the macroeconomic level analysis show evidence for both consumption and investment motivations

Full textEstimates suggest that between 80 000 and 200 000 Comorian citizens living abroad, particularly in metropolitan France ( 95 %). They remit a big portion of their income to their home country. It follows that, the Comoros Islands is one of the most strongly dependent countries on remittances. Between 2000 and 2010, the wealth transferred to the home country by Comorian Diaspora represents on average 20, 50 % of the total GDP of the Comoros. The present research aims to study these migration movements and its economic effects limited to remittances. We begin to explain the Comorian contexts. The study reveals that the economic, political and cultural environments, which characterize this country, are conductive to international migrations. After a brief review of the economic literature on this topic, we show analyze several aspects (characteristics, determinants, etc.) of Comorian migrations in France. It appears that these migration flows are generally prepared in a family context and are primarily motivated by economic reasons. Finally, we show approach the questions about remittances. The analysis shows that these cash flows grow a decade to another and constitute the main source of entrance of currency for the Comoros. On the other hand, empirical regressions seem to indicate that these financial flows are mainly determined by the cultural norms of the Comoros, approximated by the cost of the Anda wedding ceremonies

Full textThe aim of this PhD thesis is to analyze the links between migration process and climate variability in West Africa and especially in those countries characterized by a Sahelian climate. Our estimations highlight the important role of remittances toward precipitation variability in West Africa. At the microeconomic level, we show that migrant remittances enhance households coping capacities to deal with the negative impact of drought on vulnerability to food insecurity. However, remittances are mostly spent to maintain consumption over time and our results show that they have non significant impacts on poverty when mesured by households productive assets. In a macroeconomic perspective, an increased dependency to remittances may be exerted if remittances are spent in basic consumer goods. They can encourage an increase in the demand exceeding the production capacity of the economy. In return, remittances have no or not enough spillover effects. Our results indicate that any positive shock on remittances leads to a small increase in agricultural value added, without significant impact on GDP. Thus, spillover effects of remittances are low in the short term. Remittances positive shocks lead in return to a rise in agricultural imports by in sahelian countries while a rainfall shock leads to an immediate decline in agricultural production

Full textThis research work contributes to understand the migration phenomenon and the remittances of the migrants, of their impact on the countries of origin in terms of economic growth and poverty decrease. First at all, this thesis shows a literature review about remittances, their importance, their use, and their repercussion on the growth of the economics of origin. Then, it shows the migration, the different methods of remittances and their costs, but also the impact of these remittances on poverty and inequality of the incomes within the households. Analysing this question, in the second place, this thesis shows the results of memorable works, and then, it shows an empirical study that examines the remittances of the Burkinabian migrants, their use, and their impact on the consumption of the households who stand to benefit, on poverty and on inequality of incomes
Sambo, Hamed. "Trois essais sur la migration et la sécurité alimentaire dans les pays d’Afrique Sub-Saharienne." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019USPCD061.
Full textDespite global progress, food insecurity continues to be a major problem in many developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. While several factors may explain this persistence, the main cause is the failure of markets characterized by unfavorable conditions for the exchange of individuals’ labor endowment. In this context, migration appears to be a solution to food insecurity insofar as individuals, in common agreement with their families, can export their labor force to a destination with better exchange conditions (employment opportunities, positive wage differences, etc.). The objective of this thesis is therefore to empirically study the impact of migration on the food security of migrant families left behind in Sub-Saharan Africa. A first macroeconomic analysis, focusing on the impact of international remittances, reveals that those remittances contribute to a decrease in the proportion of undernourished in Sub-Saharan Africa. As a further step, a second analysis, covering both international and internal migration, was carried out using survey data from two countries in sub-Saharan Africa : Ethiopia and Niger. This analysis shows that migration leads to an improvement of households’ food access and food diversification only when it produces remittances to migrant-sending households. In addition, migrants provide his or her family with insurance against food shocks. Finally, a third study on Burkina Faso indicates that migration leads to improvement of the nutritional status of children less than five years in migrant households

Full textFour chapters have been developed in this dissertation with the aim to discuss and analyze the issue of financing for development in poor countries. Foreign assistance and migrant remittances are the two financial flows we are interested in. In chapter 1 we discuss the problems of development and highlight the existence of poverty traps related to capital, saving, technology, demographics, human capital, skilled migration or brain drain institutions and financial system. In addressing these constraints, we analyze the theoretical contribution from external financing. We find that foreign assistance and migrant remittances can help receiving countries to get out of poverty trap by increasing income and then saving , capital therefore the final production. But this is only possible if the amounts of funds received exceed the income threshold of subsistence consumption but also exceed at least the poverty trap threshold. In chapter 2 we present the foreign assistance mechanisms and discuss its effectiveness. The growing importance of foreign assistance flows is indicative of its failure to help receiving countries getting out of the poverty trap. We identify several reasons that explain this failure : the inadequate use of the Harrod-Domar model, donors' interests, instutional weakness, complex delivery chain and channels, heavy bureaucracies, corruption and misappropriation of aid, incentive problems. Migrant remittances presented in chapter 3 are referred to as a complementary source of financing. With 338 billion of dollar sent by migrants in 2008, migration is no longer seen as source of poverty trap by reducing the stock ogf human capital in migrant origin countries. Migration, through remittances is now considered as source for capital development. Remittances are not only spent on subsistence consumption. They are also important source of foreign exchange and income for capital accumulation : investment, education and human capital accumulation. In chapter 4 we investigate empirically the effectiveness of foreign assistance and migrant remittances in promoting development. We find that these two financial flows are effective. However remittances are more effective than foreign assistance, because they are less constraint to donors' interests, bureaucracies, incentive problems, principal-agent problems corruption, and misappropriation. Remittances are directly received by people in needs and not by corrupt governments as it is the case for foreign assistance where a large amount is misapporpriated before reaching the population

Full textThis research is aimed at studying three forms of "solidarity" in Antananarivo (capital of Madagascar) : famangiana, that are visits made for special events, during which a monetary or an in-kind gift is made ; coresidence inside the same household ; and financial and in-kind transfers between households. Famangiana are a widely-spread practice (during a period of 3 months, 77% of the households made at least one), and occur more for unhappy event (such as a death) than for happy ones (such as a birth). The household participation rate depends particularly on the size their social network, while the amounts given depends essentially on economic factors (especially income). Coresidence inside the same household is a massive phenomenon, since there are very few people living alone in Antananarivo (less than 2%). In most cases, people who live together are parents and their children. Intergenerational coresidence (between parents and adult children), which is widely-spread, seems to benefit more to the young generation than to the parents. Finally, financial and in-kind interhousehold transfers concerned 66% of the households during a period of 6 months. The balance of Antananarivo and its area is largely positive, due to transfers received from abroad. Concerning the solidarity networks, again we noticed that this kind of support is concentrated between parents and their children. However, contrary to intergenerational coresidence, for financial and in-kind intergenerational support, the balance is largely in favor of parents

Full textThe phenomenon of migrant remittances has attracted keen interest among policymakers, scholars and researchers. This owes to the fact that remittances involve multiple human, economic and financial aspects. International remittances have become an important source of foreign exchange for several developing countries. One such country is Morocco, being one of the world’s major remittance-receiving countries. This dissertation deals with three features of remittance inflows to the country. First of all, the evolution of remittances from 1980 onwards is analyzed. Secondly, key drivers of these flows are empirically determined. Thirdly, their impacts on the Moroccan economy are examined in detail, especially those pertaining to the country’s exchange rate and monetary policy. Employing pertinent sophisticated econometric techniques and bilateral data, we come up with important findings in this context. We find that remittances are indeed playing a major role in the Moroccan economy; that the behavior of Moroccan migrants in terms of the amounts remitted back home vary with respect to the destination countries as well as the time dimension; and those remittances do not appear to induce the Dutch disease in the country’s economy. As a result, Morocco’s migration policies seem to be adequate. The policy can be made more effective by adapting it to the diverse features and specificities of Moroccan migrant communities residing in different parts of the world

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to understand the meaning and implications of the migration of Haitians from the region of Aquin to France, and to assess the effects in the region of origin. This research looks at the migration exodus from run areas to transnational urban areas, recounts the history of mobility and highlights the causes which govern the migration. Secondly, based on a survey conducted of Haitian migrants in France, the lifestyle of these migrants, the jobs, their community and cultural life and the practicalities of their integration are studied. Particular emphasis is given to lone migrant women and those who arrive with family. Finally, the third aspect of the study investigates the repercussions of migrant departure from the original region of Aquin, how Haitians living in France are perceived, the expectations, the effects of cash transfers linked to political co-development and the issue of return or permanent settlement abroad

Full textThis thesis proposes four original empirical contributions on the determinants and effects of remittances to developing countries. Using bilateral remittance data from National Bank of Romania, we show that remittances are considered as implicit loan repayments. We find that education and geographic distance positively influence remittances over the period 2005-2007. Using the LSMS panel data collected by the World Bank in Albania from 2002 to 2004, we find that a mix of altruism and exchange may explain the pattern of remittances. We also find that remittances have a positive impact on financial satisfaction of the recipients. This result is robust to the correction of selection either on observables or unobservables. Using the same dataset, we find that Albanian households are more optimistic about the future when they have experienced an improvement of their financial situation in the part and when they have received remittances from foreign countries. Nevertheless, when comparing realized changes and financial expectations, they tend to significantly overestimate their future financial situation over the period 2002-2004. Using a sample of 122 developing countries, we analyze the effect of remittances on environment, with a focus of deforestation in developing countries. We find that the share of remittances in GDP reduces the rate of deforestation over the period 1990-2005

Full textThis Ph-D studies the impact of migrants’ remittances on recipient economies using a macroeconomic approach. More specifically, it deals with the indirect effects of remittances on the economic growth of the migrants’ home countries on the basis of data from the Southern Mediterranean countries (SMC). This Ph-D will try to i) investigate the quantitative and qualitative effects of remittances, ii) identify the microeconomic and macroeconomic determinants of remittances, iii) investigate their effects on inequality, poverty and growth. Our results suggest that remittances are countercyclical in Algeria and Egypt, and procyclical in Morocco and Tunisia regarding the business cycle of the countries of origin. However, except for Algeria, remittances are procyclical regarding the business cycle of the migrants’ host country. Moreover, empirical findings show that altruism is the most important motivation behind remittances in SMC. Furthermore, our results indicate that remittances indirectly reduce inequality and poverty in the migrants’ home societies. This effect on poverty gains further importance when the recipient countries suffer from external chocks. Finally, this thesis shows that remittances can promote growth in countries with more efficient financial systems

They are also an object of study which occupies a central place in the scientific literature, especially in the field of economics. In this thesis, remittances are considered from a socio-anthropological perspective, putting into perspective the remittances of emigrants in relation to the process of individualisation at work in migratory situation and in African societies.Semi-directive interviews carried out in addition to classical and netnographic observations make it possible to highlight the meaning that the emigrants give to the individual and collective financial assistance they provide to their family, the different strategies employed by the emigrants to control the use of remittances, and their own interpretations of the standards of community redistribution

Full textThis doctoral thesis proposes three original contributions to the theoretical and empirical literature in development economics in Africa. The two broad fields of investigation are the economics of international migration in Senegal and the economics of education in Madagascar. The first chapter deals with the issue of intra-household selection into migration and aims at identifying the key components that drive the selection of migrants within their origin household. The second chapter investigates the social determinants of remittances and analyzes the influence of the redistributive norms conveyed by the origin household through migrant networks at destination on the likelihood and amounts of remittances. The third chapter investigates the impact of adult mortality within the household on subsequent children schooling decisions over the short and long run. These three chapters ail build on a microeconomic approach of decisions and behaviors among individuals within a household. The originality of the underlying data sets -ROR and MIDDAS -allows not only to bring new insights on some issues that may have been already explored by the literature, but also to tackle issues that have been so far un-or under-explored due to a lack of appropriate data. This thesis therefore highlights the importance of inter-disciplinarity, fieldwork and innovative survey designs in the investigation of original questions at the frontier of the existing research

Full textThe objective of this research is to analyze South-South remittances, i.e. remittances made between developing countries. With recent and original survey data on African countries, its purpose is to i) establish an overview of African migration and remittances, ii) analyze the impact of departure conditions on the migrants’ remittance behavior, iii) study remittance used in the case of forced migration, and more generally in the case of South-South migration and iv) analyze if remittance behavior of South-South migrants differs from those of South-North migrants. Results show that departure conditions play an important role in the migrant’s decision to remit. They also highlight that South-South remittances are largely used to finance consumption expenditures. Finally, results reveal that South-South and South-North migrants behave slightly differently in terms of remittances

Full textMigration shapes societies in both origin and destination countries. With scholars' focus progressively turning from the impact of migration on receiving countries towards its impact on sending countries, this thesis offers four insights on the interlinkages between international migration and labour markets in origin countries. Each essay illustrates these interactions between local employment and migration in several countries of the Middle East and North Africa region, combining micro and macroeconomic analysis, quantitative and qualitative data, computable general equilibrium modeling and microeconometrics. The first chapter presents an original computable general equilibrium model which allows us to capture the broad channels though which migration impacts labour market outcomes: labour supply, remittances and education. In the following three chapters, we explore in depth the microeconomic foundations and implications of each of these channels

Full textThe oftmentioned and thus the most controversial cause of child labour is poverty. However, the relationship between poverty and child labour is blurred as numerous theoretical and empirical studies focused on these issues show contradictories results. Besides, increasing attention is being paid to vulnerability as a key dynamic aspect of poverty, making more complex the impact of poverty on child labour. The aims of my thesis work is to clarify the relationship between poverty and child labour and to update it in the light of recent development in poverty and vulnerability measurement and the current context of multiple crises. I choose to focus on African countries as the majority of child labourers are found in these countries. Two main parts compose my PhD dissertation. First, my dissertation research revisits the links between child labour and household poverty. Second, the children participation to labour is part of a household strategy to reduce the income variability. The vulnerability of children to work is thus analysed in two different ways, according the type of shocks and the type of vulnerability (ex-ante or ex-post). The final chapter of my thesis aims to analyse if an exogenous household income increase, through remittances, have a positive impact on children work

Full textThis dissertation combines some specific features of the Mexican Progresa¬Oportunidades Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program with credible sources of exogenous variations in order to shed light on three distinct indirect effects of the intervention on individual behaviors. The first part studies the role of the program in enhancing higher educational aspirations through social interactions among the targeted population. To this aim, we evaluate the effects of the geographic concentration of recipients living in different but neighboring villages on individual enrollment decisions. The second part ofthe analysis explores the effects of cash transfer on the functioning of the labor market in this setting, by focusing in particular on the driving factors behind the decision to become micro-entrepreneur. We interpret the program as a random variation in households' income and show that receiving its benefits increases the probability of entering self-employment both from salaried work and from unemployment. We next explore whether cash transfers enhance entrepreneurship as they provide liquidity to undertake some initial capital investment or rather as they foster the willingness to bear the risk posed by entrepreneurial returns. The third and last part considers one possible political economy by-product of the intervention by inspecting the effects of cash transfers targeted to the poor on the allocation of tactical transfers across government levels. We find strong supportive evidence in favor of a displacement effect of the cash transfer program on discretionary intra-governmental transfers and no effects on targeted transfers. This displacement effect seems to have deteriorated the amount of public goods provided in districts with many program beneficiaries. Redistributive politics thus creates a welfare trade-off for CCT recipients and a net welfare decrease for non-recipients. Accordingly, we found negative electoral results for mayors affiliated with the federal incumbent's party, especially in opposition stronghold districts
Boltz, Marie. "Informal Redistribution and Savings in the Extended Family in Senegal." Paris, EHESS, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015EHES0128.
Full textThis PhD dissertation aims at analyzing the effect of informal redistribution, taking mostly place within the extended family, on individuals' resource allocation choices in Sub-Saharan Africa. Indeed, in this region, due to limited access to markets for insurance, credit and savings, and to formal redistribution, individuals are vulnerable to life risks and economic shocks. To protect themselves against these risks, individuals rely mainly on two strategies: informal redistribution and informal savings. I analyze in this thesis how informal redistribution within the extended family affects individual savings decisions. The first chapter is based on an original qualitative survey conducted in Senegal in 2012 and propose a detailed analysis of the relationship between the transfer senders and the recipients within several family networks to understand the dynamics of resource sharing in the extended family and the social norms attached to these transfers. In the second Chapter, I investigate transfer patterns within a sibship and analyze how these patterns are related to saving decisions, using the nationally-representative ' Pauvrete et Structure Familiale' (PSF) suvey in Senegal. I find some evidence of high redistributive obligations that come generally at the cost of lower savings achieved for the main transfer senders. Based on an original lab experiment, in the third chapter, I highlight the widespread use of costly strategies aimed at circumventing these redistributive norms, namely income hiding. I identify the distortionary effects of such strategies on resource allocation decisions. In particular, I elicit a high willingness-to-pay to hide income from peers in the lab and show that hidden income induce a lower share of the gains devoted to transfers out of the lab, compensated by an increase in personal expenses. Finally, in my last chapter, using the panel of individuals of the PSF survey, I show that monogamous wives, when facing a higher risk of becoming polygamous, invest in self-protective strategies by saving more and spending more on personal expenses and on the education of their children

Full textCette dissertation contribue à la littérature empirique naissante sur l'impact développemental de la migration internationale dans le pays source. Etant donné la priorité de politique placée sur la création d'emplois, l’analyse est ici portée sur les conséquences de l'émigration sur l'emploi et la nature de cet emploi. En particulier, nos questions sont les suivantes, d’une part, (i) est-ce que la migration internationale et les transferts de fonds des travailleurs migrants ont un impact sur le taux de chômage dans le pays de source? D’autre part, (ii) les transferts de fonds des travailleurs migrants encouragent-ils l'esprit d'entreprise, comme reflété par la proportion de travailleurs indépendants du pays source? Nous étudions ces questions en utilisant des données de recensement du Mexique et des Etats-Unis, à la différence de beaucoup des travaux précédents qui se sont fondés sur des données d'enquête de ménage. Notre stratégie empirique essaye d'adresser les problèmes de biais de sélection et d’endogénéite, problèmes que les études précédentes ont rencontrés. Nous classifions les travailleurs dans différents groupes de compétence et utilisons la stratégie empirique dévelopée par Borjas (2003), effectuant ainsi notre analyse au niveau national. Nous introduisons également l'estimateur partiel de logit (développé par Papke et Wooldridge (1996)). Nos résultants montrent que (i) l'émigration et les transferts de fonds de travailleurs migrants diminuent le taux de chômage du pays source, et par ailleurs (ii) les transferts de fonds de travailleurs migrants augmentent le taux de travailleurs indépendants dans le pays source. Ces résultats sont encore plus significatifs une fois que nous prenons en considération les problèmes économétriques liés aux biais de sélection et d’endogénéité. En termes de politique économique, nous fournissons donc des preuves empiriques quant aux effets de la migration internationale et des transferts de fonds migrants sur la croissance économique du pays de source
Le, Goff Maëlan. "Migrant remittances, foreign aid and development of recipient countries." Thesis, Clermont-Ferrand 1, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012CLF10398.
Full textThis dissertation examines the effects of migrant remittances on the development of origin countries and compares these effects with those of official development aid. In a first part we investigate the effects of remittances on the development of recipient countries. Results suggest that remittances reduce within inequality in countries more developed, where migration cost are lower and the share of skilled migrants less important (Chapter 1). Their impact on growth in sub-Saharan Africa is also non-Linear and depends positively on the financial and institutional development of recipient economies (Chapter 2). Finally, remittances have a real exchange appreciation effect in CFA countries, but not in countries with a flexible exchange rate regime (Chapter 3). In a second part we focus on the stabilizing impact of remittances. Chapter 4 shows, at the microeconomic level, that remittances have played an insurance role during the last financial crisis and that this role was all the more acute that migrants have not strongly suffered from the crisis and that family links were strong. Chapter 5 suggests in a country-By-Country approach that remittances are pro-Cyclical in a higher number of cases, while on average, they respond negatively to the home country income. Chapter 6 findings show that remittances dampen the harmful impact of trade instability on poverty. In a third part, we compare migrant remittances with public aid. While public aid mitigates the harmful impact of export instability on output growth, migrant remittances dampen the harmful effect of export instability on poverty (Chapter 7). Finally, migrant remittances reduce aid dependency in countries where remittances are invested rather than consumed (Chapter 8)

Full textThis thesis dissertation, entitled: couple and male migration in Solis Valley (Temascalcingo, state of Mexico) concern affective and economical, relation within the couple. We studied the male migration through two main axes: money (revenues called « remesas ») and affectivity. These two concepts have consequence on behavioural modes and attach values and norms to each gender. They determine couple relations at distance. Through couple's experience we have built the affective and economical processes a which are linked to male migration. We analyze the men's departures, the separation, the border crossing, the time of reciprocal wait, the come back and the situation of breaking too. We also show the consequences, the men's absence living above in the personal life and in the couple life. The economical advantages of migration are analyzed within the contradiction of the human ambition, in which the affectivity play a major role. Some of couple experience social rise at material and economical level while they have difficulty in restablishing a conjugal affective links some others have reason affective links and departing to the North, looks for adding an economical value to their couple life. For these couple of Solis Valley reconciliating this two aspects, economical and affectivity, is the main challenge

Full textThis thesis tackles the effects of migration on the political economy of development in the homeland. The first part of the thesis is based on a case study of Mali. In Chapter 1, we explore the impact of return migrants on political behaviors, and put forward the existence of transfers of electoral norms from Malian returnees toward non-migrants. Chapter 2 focuses on monetary transfers sent collectively by migrants through hometown associations, and shows that the provision of local public goods has increased relatively more rapidly in the Malian villages which have been targeted, since the 1990s, by hometown associations settled in France. The second part of the thesis leaves the Malian soil and adopts a more macro-economic approach. In Chapter 3, we study the migration background of political leaders, and find that, between 1960 and 2004, developing countries headed by foreign-educated leaders reached higher average levels of democracy. Last, Chapter 4 presents a theoretical model that analyzes the effect of a diaspora on civil war in the homeland, and the circumstances under which diasporas can fuel violence or promote peacebuilding. The thesis thus highlights four mechanisms through which migration can affect local political economy and opens numerous new research questions. It also emphasizes the importance of adopting different approaches, based on both theoretical and empirical tools, and of implementing innovative methodologies and data collection devices in order to investigate these questions
Murard, Elie. "Three Essays on the Economies of International Migration." Paris, EHESS, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015EHES0190.
Full textThis PhD dissertation presents three empirical studies on the economics of international migration. Chapter 1 examines how the migration of a household member to the United States affects the welfare of the other members left behind in rural areas of Mexico. Using a panel household survey, I show that non-migrants are better-off in terms of consumption and leisure time because (i) remittances sent by migrant exceed his/her initial contribution to the househok income and because (ii) the out- migration of a farmer raises the productivity of agricultural labor for those staying behind in the farm. Chapter 2 addresses the methodological issues empirical economists confront when they seek to identify the causal impact of migration on members left behind at origin. I propose a new method that takes into account the intra- household selection of migrants, i. E. The decision of which family members migrate and which stay behind, a problem that has remained largely ignored in the literature. Chapter 3 examines the effect of immigrant inflows in Europe on the evolution of natives' attitudes towards redistribution and immigration policy over the last decade. I find that attitudes are not only shaped by non-economic preferences, e. G. Racial prejudice or differential altruism, but that they are also importantly determined by concerns on how immigration may affect the labor market, i. E. Wages, and the Welfare State's finances, i. E. Net social benefits

Full textThis dissertation examines the impact of income shocks on migration. Chapter 2 uses fixed-effect and instrumental variable estimates to measure the impact of farm income shocks on temporary migration of rural households in India. Chapter 3 examines migration throughout the period spanning 1993-2000 to understand migration decisions before and after the Indonesian 1997/1998 financial crisis. In chapter 4, I examine the impact of income shocks in 2004 or 2005 as mentioned by the interviewed households on migration m 2005 or 2006 and on transfers in 2006. Temporary migration in rural households in India and permanent migration in Senegal seem to be coping mechanisms in a classic model of labor migration, with an increase in departures in reponse to negative shocks. In India, a small positive impact of positive idiosyncratic shocks hints towards response to negative shocks. In India, a small positive impact of positive idiosyncratic shocks hints towards possible limitation of migration due to liquidity constraints. However, these constraints seem very weak when compared with the impact of the aggregate shock of low rainfall which increases migration. In Senegal, we also find some hints towards a larger understanding of migration as a means to manage shocks, with dependents joining households who have experiences positive shocks. In Indonesia however, we do not find that migration has increased in the case of individuals particularly affected by the crisis. The pervasive nature of the shock, even though it was heterogeneous, may have made individuals less willing to take risks through migration
Zanuso, Claire. "Natural Disasters, Coping Strategies and Labour Market - Evidence from the 2010 Earthquake in Haiti." Thesis, Paris 9, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA090072.
Full textFrequency and intensity of natural and environmental disasters are on the rise worldwide. Up to 325 million extremely poor people will be living in the 49 most hazard-prone countries in 2030. Haiti proudly claims to the distinction of being the only nation whose slave population defeated a colonial power to become free and the second-oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere, yet persists as the poorest country in Latin America and Caribbean region one of the poorest and weakly governed countries in the world. Output of both an extensive fieldwork and academic research, the present thesis attempts to shed some light on the situation in Haiti after the devastating earthquake, offering four insights on the interlinkages between natural disaster, labour market and coping strategies. The introductive chapter draws the general motivation and some background information common of the four essays of this doctoral work. The first chapter presents the most up-to-date diagnosis of the labour market situation in Haiti almost 3 years after the earthquake (2012) and provide whenever possible a comparison with the situation prevailing 3 years before (2007), with a specific focus on youth. This descriptive analysis offers an overview of the general economic trends. In the following three chapters, we explore in depth the microeconomic foundations and implications of channels at play. Chapter 2 analyses the impact of earthquake on the households' decision on children's time allocation. In chapter 3, we investigate interlinkages between transfers and labour supply in the aftermath of the earthquake. Finally, chapter 4 takes the analysis of the impact of the earthquake a step forward by using longitudinal data and focuses on the long-lasting impact of the 2010 earthquake on population's livelihoods

Full textEnvironmental and climate issues constitute a predominant and much up to date topic in international discussions. It is broadly recognized that developing countries are the most vulnerable when it comes to climate issues, albeit, they are the least responsible. Finding ways for households’ of these countries to cope with the harmful effects of climate goes through the necessity to identify mechanisms that can help, such as migration and remittances. The latter have been found in the scientific literature to be a hedge against several shocks such as natural disasters, conflicts, and economic shocks.This research thesis explores the theme of remittances, and climate variability in developing countries, by focusing on a sub-Saharan African country, Burkina Faso. Compared to its neighbouring countries, Burkina Faso has not been subject to much research in the migration and remittances. The country however has a vast migration history that is worth studying. Climate issues are also rampant, and very important, as the country is practising subsistence agriculture. The findings of this dissertation show that remittances have a positive impact on households’ ability to cope with the negative effects of climate issues. Yet these important sources of inflows for developing countries might have some limitations. The first chapter assesses the impact of remittances and climate variability on the food security of households in Burkina Faso. We build a food security index using principal component analysis that encompasses the accessibility and utilization dimensions of the concept. We also compute an inter-annual rainfall index and the latter is found to have a negative impact on food security. After controlling for potential endogeneity issues using distance variables and migrant characteristics as instruments, remittances are found to enhance food security. Results are robust to alternative measures of food security and alternative calculations of rainfall variability. In Chapter two, we assess the impact of remittances and natural disasters on poverty in Burkina Faso. To do so, we construct a poverty index using household’s housing characteristics and Multiple Correspondence Analysis method. Propensity score matching method is used as an empirical strategy, and results show that remittances have a negative impact on poverty. Another important result is that remittances have a higher impact on the resilience of households, when they have experienced disasters in the past. Therefore, when it comes to natural disasters, these inflows act as an important tool for populations to be more resilient. Lastly in chapter 3, we assess the role of remittances and drought on diversification strategies of farm-households. This chapter uses the same database as chapter two, and also takes advantage of the climate database of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of University of Anglia . Results show that remittances by themselves are not sufficient to push households towards costly diversification strategies, and they need to be conditional to households’ wealth status to be effective. Climate conditions as well as soil properties have not surprisingly been found to significantly push households towards diversifying their income.This research sheds light on the undeniable importance of remittances in helping households to cope with harmful effects of climate, but also on its limitations. International and national policies that will contribute in a more efficient and less costly conveying of these inflows are to encourage. However in order for remittances to be efficient, reducing inequalities and poverty within populations is a necessity. Otherwise, they can contribute to dig further poverty gaps and extensively the vulnerably levels inside populations. Therefore, remittances should be seen as complementary to other sources of income, rather than substitute

Full textThe three essays composing this thesis make contributions to the literature on the consequences of migration and private transfers on the economic development of the countries of origin of sub-Saharan Africa.The first essay evaluates the distributive impact of international and domestic transfersin Senegal. The results show that private transfers reduce income inequality in Senegal. This equalizing effect is mainly driven bydomestic transfers. The second essay examines the insurance function of migration in Mali. We find that migration acts as an insurance mechanism when the household suffers an idiosyncratic shock during the year. The third essay examines the link between the human capital of Senegalese migrants and their integration into the destination labor market. The results suggest that the probability of being in skilled employment given the level of education is lower in migration compared to Senegal. Although a priori distinct, the three essays have in common an approach that mobilizes household surveys and various microeconometric techniques to deal with the complexity of migration in order to improve the understanding of the consequences of migration on the economies of origines

Full textThis thesis consists of five essays on macroeconomic adjustment mechanisms in a currency union such as the Euro area. The first essay examines the response of labour mobility to disparities in wage growth and unemployment rate in the Euro area. The results indicate that mobility responds to national differences in unemployment, especially during the crisis period, but not to national differences in wage developments. The second essay investigates the equilibrium or disequilibrium effect of labour mobility on labour market conditions in the Euro area. The findings show that even if mobility responds weakly to asymmetric shocks and structural patterns in the Euro area, it reduces differentials on labour market conditions. The third essay analyses the determinants of migration in the Euro area in comparison with the European union (EU) ; the main purpose being to identify factors that hinder mobility of people in the Euro area. The main results indicate that apart from cultural and administrative barriers, a generous social security system in the country of origin is also a drag to mobility of people in the Euro area. The fourth essay examines the stabilising role of workers' remittances as a spillover effect of labour mobility. The results show that remittances do not play a stabilising role neither in the Euro area, nor in the EU. Worse still, workers' remittances tend to be procyclical in the EU. Finally, the fifth essay looks at the risk sharing in the EU and highlights the weight of labour income flows in smoothing asymmetric shocks. The outcomes reveal that the most important channel of risk sharing remains the credit market. As for the capital market channel, it tends to be procyclical. Regarding labour income flows, their smoothing effect exists but it is low

Full textThis thesis analyses the mechanisms of solidarity existing between the Senegalese diaspora in France and Senegal. Through the question of the founding debt, it seeks to explore how important migrants’ money transfers are in their home country. Though in many institutional reports, the economic approach still prevails, with the figure of the oeconomicus & donator migrant, this study offers a different perspective in the sense that it privileges the meaning of the donation. In doing so, it also questions the phenomenon of immigration and examines the remaking of human geography and the series of discourse it implies. From its analysis of money transfers to the one of migrants’ entrepreneurship, passing by their commitment to social activities, using a qualitative method, this work unveils the existence of an original debt at the source of this solidary gesture. To give to one’s home country is then to simply pay back. This debt, which the migrant is expected to solve, explains his donation, his commitment, his entrepreneurship, and his desire to return. It’s the genealogy of this immigration, its social and cultural fundaments that this thesis intends to establish starting from the symbolic violence of the departure to the return of the migrant while highlighting its various expressions

Full textThis thesis analyses the effects of migration on the behaviors of household of origins members, when newspapers' headlines focus on tragedies related to illegal immigration. Our thesis, applied to Mali, is an in-depth analysis of external and internal migrations both very important in this country, whereas most of the studies only focus on the impact of international migration. We use data from two national large-scale surveys which were fully conducted under our control. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is a descriptive analysis of the two types of migration and highlights the characteristics of migrants. It also evaluates the transfer amounts and their contribution to the living conditions of recipient households. The next chapters resort to micro-econometric techniques which allow us to estimate the effects of migration by controlling for endogeneity problems. The second chapter examines the effects of the two types of migration on schooling of children from households of origins, namely their schooling success. In the third chapter, we evaluate the impact of migrations on agricultural production. We test the hypothesis of an opportunistic behavior because of the existence of an implicit contract between migrants and members of the household of origin. Insertion of return migrants in the labour market is investigated in the fourth chapter. The thesis shows negative impacts of internal and foreign migrations, especially, on the behavior of original household members. Migrations reveal an opportunistic behavior marked by least effort at school (from children's side) and from agricultural workers. In addition, migration experience does not have significant influence on the insertion in the labour market

Full textFor decades, economists have been interested in studying why and how agents support eachothers, giving a special place to the analysis of private income transfers. Recent applicationsinclude very diverse topics such as: the analysis of capital accumulation, social cohesion andsolidarity, market insurance and interest rates, risk-coping strategies against negative shocksand government policies.The present dissertation analyzes how inter-household transfer decisions, international remittancesand intra-household transfers contribute to shape five fundamental aspects of development:(i) social interactions, (ii) market and household work, (iii) spending patterns, (iv)nutrition and (v) health.Three research questions are addressed using applied data from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru,and multiple econometric techniques. First, is there a relationship between inter-householdtransfer dynamics and distance between donors and receivers? Second, do remittances asymmetricallyshape labor supply responses depending on people’s characteristics? Third, dointra-household transfers influence spending patterns, nutrition and health outcomes?Results suggest that private income transfers play a key re-distributive role, shaping agents’living standards and improving individual and social well-being. In contexts of economic deprivation,where social safety nets are scarce, informality is at stake, institutions are highlyfragmented and the public sector is weak, money and in-kind help from other households orindividuals constitute crucial livelihood strategies to get through the economic world. Thus,enhancing our understanding of this dimension of social behaviors is a must

Full textAt the northern entrance to the Mozambique Channel, the Comoros archipelago’s four islands – Grande Comore, Anjouan, Mohéli and Mayotte – are situated between Madagascar and Mozambique. Until the first half of the 19th century, the islands of this archipelago of the Southwest Indian Ocean shared a tragic common destiny, being exposed to the conflicts of fighting sultans and looting by Malagasy pirates. The consequences of these abuses were the impoverishment of the archipelago and the deportation of men out of the Comoros. Since Mayotte was ceded to France in 1841, Franco-British rivalries in the Indian Ocean allowed the other three islands of the archipelago to remain more or less independent.This thesis analyzes the factors at the origin of the different waves of Comorian migration in the Southwest Indian Ocean since the second half of the 19th century, as well as their consequences, based on archives documents, literature and some testimonies. Towards the end of the 19th century, the arrival of western planters, followed by the signing of conventions and commercial agreements with the sultans, disinherited the Comorian peasants from their lands. The protectorate agreements with France from 1886 onwards exacerbated the vulnerability of the peasants by attributing remaining lands to the colonial societies. Dispossessed and hungry, many Comorians’ only choices were slave labor or exile. With the arrival of maritime couriers in the Indian Ocean, many Comorians fleeing misery chose to settle in Zanzibar, Madagascar and Reunion island. Later, in Zanzibar, the Okello revolution of 1964 led to Comorian migratory surges on the island, and twelve years later, in 1975, those settled in Madagascar were ultimately victims of the massacres perpetrated against them in Majunga. These two events marked the end of Comorian migration in the sub-region.Additionally, the migration of Comorians to France in the 1970s, a consequence of the bloody events that occurred in the Indian Ocean, are subsequently discussed. The development of this new migration, its mode of organization and the migrants’ relationship to the country of origin are broadly analyzed. For this, we relied on directed and semi-directed interviews, participant observation, as well as on existing literature. Today, a quarter of all Comorians live in France and Marseille, welcoming more Comorians than Moroni, the capital of Comoros. The Comorian diaspora in France keeps very strong links with the country of origin, it is one of the most active in sub-Saharan Africa both in terms of social associations and in terms of remittances. This diaspora is by far the largest funder of the Comoros. Village development is supported by migrants through their association structures and every village in the Comoros has its migrant associations in France. The current migration policy in France is generating drip-feed entries at a time when the first generation of migrants is gradually weakening and fading. From now on, the exchanges with the village will rest on the descendants of migrants who alone will decide to maintain or abandon these ties
