RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Manila to Malaysia, Quezon to Qatar: International Migration and its Effects on Origin-Country Human Capital JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 0216-7714R1 DO 10.3368/jhr.53.4.0216.7714R1 A1 Caroline Theoharides YR 2017 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/early/2017/06/01/jhr.53.4.0216.7714R1.abstract AB I estimate the effect of international migration on the human capital of children in the migrants’ origin country. Using administrative data containing all migrant departures from the Philippines, I exploit variation across provinces in destination-country demand for migrants. My estimates are at the local labor market level, allowing for spillovers to non-migrant households. An average year-to-year percent increase in migration causes a 3.5 percent increase in secondary school enrollment. The effects are likely driven by increased income rather than an increased expected wage premium for education.
