Abstract

This article surveys the current trend in international migration of labour, particularly from developing countries, with special emphasis on the welfare aspect of emigration on the remaining residents, and it also investigates the tension between brain drain and brain gain. It is evident from the existing literature that welfare of the remaining residents of a labour-sending developing economy can be influenced positively or negatively by exit of its skilled labour force. A detailed survey of the literature finds that positive probability of migration to a rich country raises the average skill level in the poor origin country. Migration in these studies work as a substitute for domestic tax-subsidy schemes aimed at raising the independently chosen low level of human capital to a socially desirable state. Related studies show that there can be both positive and negative impact of remittances on the welfare of the source country. JEL Classification: F22, F24, J24

国际移民与福利影响

本文调查了目前国际劳动力迁移的趋势，特别是来自发展中国家的劳动力，特别强调了移民对剩余居民的福利方面，它还调查了人才流失和人才获得之间的紧张关系。从现有文献中可以明显看出，输出劳动力的发展中经济体的剩余居民的福利可能因其熟练劳动力的退出而受到积极或消极的影响。对文献的详细调查发现，向富裕国家移民的正概率提高了贫穷原籍国的平均技能水平。在这些研究中，移民作为国内税收补贴计划的替代品，旨在将自主选择的低水平人力资本提高到社会理想的状态。相关研究表明，汇款对来源国的福利既有积极影响，也有消极影响。JEL分类:F22、F24、J24
