Abstract EN
This paper investigates the impacts of migrants’ skill level and migrants’ job security on remittances, both theoretically and empirically, using dataset of three Maghreb countries (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia").
This paper uses the ordered logistic regression to estimate the effects of migrants’ skill level and migrants’ job security on remittances.
Findings suggest that migrants’ skill level according to the education attainment does not influence remittances, and remittances are negatively correlated with migrants’ skill level according to the vocational training received in the host country.
Results reveal also that there is a positive relationship between migrants’ job security and remittances.
