This article reconciles contrasting findings on the effect of access to employment on remigration by showing that this effect is actually heterogeneous and depends on migrants’ initial educational selection from the origin country. Combining longitudinal data from England and Wales (1971–2011) with data on educational attainment distributions in migrants’ origin countries, we find that the impact of being out of a job (unemployed or inactive) on the probability to remigrate is larger among migrants who were initially more positively selected in terms of educational attainment. This interaction effect appears stronger for male and recent migrants. Thus, in addition to migrants’ access to employment in the host country, the mismatch between migrants’ initial selection — that partly captures their premigration expectations — and their employment status at destination helps explain remigration behaviors.

高选择,低成功:移民就业机会对其重新移民的异质性影响

本文通过表明这种影响实际上是异质的并且取决于移民对原籍国的初始教育选择,从而协调了有关就业机会对再移民影响的对比研究结果。将英格兰和威尔士(1971-2011 年)的纵向数据与移民原籍国教育程度分布的数据相结合,我们发现失业(失业或不活跃)对重新移民概率的影响更大。最初在教育程度方面被更积极地选择。对于男性和新移民来说,这种交互作用似乎更强。因此,除了移民在东道国获得就业机会外,
