Multinomial logit and conditional logit models are estimated to study both origin and destination-specific characteristics of migrants. The paper finds that the migration response to foreign job opportunities is larger for female workers than male workers; there appears to be intermediate selection in terms of educational attainment; and migrating individuals on average tend to go to destinations with higher foreign employment opportunities, even controlling for income differentials, land differentials, and distances between sending and receiving areas.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOBIG CITIESBULLETINCENSUSESCOMPENSATIONCULTURAL CHANGEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYEARNINGEARNINGS REGRESSIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATED MIGRANTSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPLOYMENT EFFECTEMPLOYMENT GROWTHEMPLOYMENT INCREASESEMPLOYMENT LEVELSEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROSPECTEMPLOYMENT STATUSETHNIC GROUPSETHNICITYEXPORT PROCESSING ZONEEXPORT PROCESSING ZONESFARMERSFEMALE LABORFEMALE MIGRANTSFINDING EMPLOYMENTFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN OWNERSHIPFOREIGN-OWNED FIRMSGENDERGOVERNMENT POLICIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESHOME VILLAGEHOST COUNTRYHOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICSHOUSEHOLD ENTERPRISESHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN MIGRATIONIMPACT OF MIGRATIONINDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDSINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFORMAL SECTORINTERNAL MIGRANTSINTERNAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION REVIEWJOB CREATIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOBSLABOR DEMANDLABOR MARKETLABOR MIGRATIONLABOR MOVEMENTLABOURLABOUR MARKETLAMLARGE CITIESLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIVING STANDARDSLONGER LIFEMALE WORKERSMANPOWERMARITAL STATUSMIGRANTMIGRANT WORKERSMIGRANTSMIGRATION FLOWMIGRATION FLOWSMIGRATION PATTERNSMIGRATIONSMINORITYNATIONAL POPULATIONNUMBER OF MIGRANTSNUMBER OF WORKERSPLACE OF RESIDENCEPLACES OF ORIGINPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOPULATION DENSITYPRESENT VALUEPREVIOUS STUDIESPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE ENTERPRISESPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPROGRESSRATE OF MIGRATIONRELOCATION POLICYREMITTANCESRESETTLEMENTRESETTLEMENT PROGRAMSRESPECTRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL WORKERSRURAL-RURAL MIGRATIONRURAL-URBAN MIGRATIONSECONDARY EDUCATIONSKILL PREMIUMSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL SERVICESSPATIAL MOBILITYSTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESTEMPORARY MIGRANTSTOTAL EMPLOYMENTTOTAL WORKERSTRANSPORT SYSTEMSTRANSPORTATIONUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNFPAUNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUNDURBAN AREASURBAN DWELLERSURBAN MIGRATIONURBANIZATIONWAGE DIFFERENTIALWAGE EMPLOYMENTWAGE GAINSWAGE GAPWAGE INEQUALITYWAGE LEVELWAGE PREMIUMWAGE SECTORYOUNG WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6420
