Income, self-selection, and return and onward interprovincial migration in Canada

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The effects of expected wage differentials in determining the return or onward migration decision of nonnative adults aged 20 to 64 years is studied. Return migrations are in the right direction, as they are observed to respond to provincial economic variables in a rational manner. Return migrants are negatively selected, and experience lower income levels following the migration that onward migrants would have. The province of birth is important in the mental map of nonnative migrants.
