I’m neither racist nor xenophobic, but
During his presidential campaign, the new elected President of U.S., Donald Trump, called for a complete ban on Muslims from entering the United States. Although numerous European observers have been shocked by this proposal, using the most recent European Social Survey immigration module, this paper found that a sizeable proportion of Europeans support a similar ban in their own countries, e.g. Czech Republic (54 per cent), Hungary (51 per cent)…
Public Opinion and Immigration
Using information from the world values survey wave 6, containing information from 78,743 respondents in 53 countries, we examine the factors which influence respondents’ answers to the question: “ when jobs are scarce, should employers give priority to people of the country of origin rather than immigrants? ” Taking into account a number of factors, including the economic, socio‐demographic, political and individual levels, we find that all of t…
Pourquoi l'immigration
Combien y a-t-il d'immigrés en Belgique ? Occupent-ils les emplois des Belges ? Sont-ils intégrés ? Bien que la plupart des Belges aient une réponse à ces questions, elles reposent trop souvent sur des préjugés. Pour les dépasser, cet ouvrage répond aux 21 questions fréquentes que se posent les Belges au sujet de l'immigration à l'aide d'arguments scientifiques clairs et concis. Au terme de cette lecture, chacun pourra donc participer de façon co…
Existe-t-il une féminisation de la migration internationale
La « féminisation de la migration internationale » constitue la nouvelle formule magique de nombreuses études migratoires. Or, depuis un demi-siècle, la part des femmes dans la migration internationale n’a pas vraiment augmenté. En revanche, les femmes représentent aujourd’hui plus de la moitié des migrants diplômés de l’enseignement supérieur dans les pays de l’OCDE. Pourtant, cette féminisation de la migration qualifiée est moins souvent discut…
African Brain Drain and Its Impact on Source Countries
While there appears to be deep and growing concern for the brain drain from Africa, lack of adequate data has so far prevented a comprehensive analysis of its magnitude and its impact on source countries. Using original datasets on international migration, this paper addresses both issues. It shows that many African economies lost a considerable part of their highly skilled labor force due to migration to developed countries. The article also hig…
Are Skilled Women More Migratory than Skilled Men
A Gendered Assessment of Highly Skilled Emigration
Although women form a large and increasing proportion of international migrants, women's mobility has generally been overlooked in the literature. Quantifying and characterizing female migration should lead to a better understanding of the forces that shape international migration. We build an original data set providing gender-disaggregated indicators of international migration by educational attainment for 195 source countries in 1990 and 2000.…
A Gendered Assessment Of The Brain Drain
This paper updates and extends the Docquier-Marfouk data set on inter-national migration by educational attainment. The authors use new sources, homogenize definitions of what a migrant is, and compute gender-disaggregated indicators of the brain drain. Emigration stocks and rates are provided by level of schooling and gender for 195 source countries in 1990 and 2000. The data set can be used to capture the recent trend in women's skilled migrati…
Brain Drain in Developing Countries
An original data set on international migration by educational attainment for 1990 and 2000 is used to analyze the determinants of brain drain from developing countries. The analysis starts with a simple decomposition of the brain drain in two multiplicative components, the degree of openness of sending countries (measured by the average emigration rate) and the schooling gap (measured by the education level of emigrants compared with natives). R…
Union européenne et migrations internationales
Cet article repose sur une base de données originale mesurant les stocks et les taux d’émigration par niveau de qualification pour tous les pays du monde et pour la majorité des territoires dépendants en 1990 et en 2000 (Docquier et Marfouk [2005]). Nous analysons ici le rôle de l’Union européenne à quinze membres ( ue 15) dans la mobilité internationale des travailleurs qualifiés. Par rapport au reste de l’ ocde , l’ ue 15 se distingue par la fa…
Measuring the International Mobility of Skilled Workers (1990–2000)
Until recently, there has been no systematic empirical assessment of the economic impact of the brain drain. Despite many case studies and anecdotal evidence, the main reason for this seems to be the lack of harmonized international data on migration by country of origin and education level. An exception is the paper by Carrington and Detragiache (1998), which provided skilled migration rates for 61 developing countries in 1990. This study relies…
