The effect of foreign-born women on the labor market outcomes of their native peers within the unique yet comparable settings of Costa Rica and Chile
This study explores the effects of female refugees and migrants on their native-born peers in Costa Rica and Chile, focusing on the labor market outcomes of employment and wages. Both countries have some of the highest foreign-born populations as a percentage of nationals in Latin America, of which a large proportion are refugees, asylum-seekers, or others in need of international protection. The labor markets in both countries are highly segment…
The labor market reintegration of returned refugees in Afghanistan
Even though Afghanistan remains one of the top origin countries of refugees around the world, a considerable number of refugees have also returned over the last three decades. This paper investigates the labor market outcomes of those returned refugees from Iran and Pakistan, motivated by the fact that their reintegration greatly depends on the ability to access sustainable income-generating activities as a basis of their livelihood. The analysis…
How do refugees affect social life in host communities? The case of Congolese refugees in Rwanda
This paper investigates how social dimensions of life in local communities are affected by the long-term presence of Congolese refugees in Rwanda, paying particular attention to feelings of safety, social networks and trust. To gauge whether increased probability of interaction with refugees reduces cohesion, these outcomes are compared across local households at varying distances from a refugee camp. This paper is based on mixed methods approach…
Is the Education of Local Children Influenced by Living near a Refugee Camp? Evidence from Host Communities in Rwanda
This article studies the extent to which educational services and schooling outcomes of local children are influenced by the presence of a refugee camp in or near their community. Investigating Congolese refugees in Rwanda and relying on a mixed‐method approach, we examine schooling rates and access to school‐based feeding programmes in communities closer to and further away from three refugee camps. We conduct cohort analyses to compare the scho…
Considering the benefits of hosting refugees: Evidence of refugee camps influencing local labour market activity and economic welfare in Rwanda
This paper examines the influence of Congolese refugees on host communities in Rwanda, with a focus on labour market activity and economic welfare. The analysis takes advantage of newly collected survey data from three refugee camps and their surrounding areas to compare individuals and households within communities at various distances from, and therefore exposure to, the refugee population. We find evidence that residing close to a refugee camp…
Revisiting the Motivations behind Remittance Behavior: Evidence of Debt-Financed Migration from Afghanistan
In an insecure environment like Afghanistan it is believed that many families consider establishing household members at different geographic locations, frequently abroad, as a way to hedge against risks to a sustainable livelihood. With this in mind, this study examines whether such a migration strategy rests on remittance transfers as an alternative source of income, exploiting the way in which migration is financed as a discriminating factor. …
