International migration, transfer of norms and home country fertility

This paper examines the relationship between international migration and source country fertility. The impact of international migration on source country fertility may have a number of causes, including a transfer of destination countries' fertility norms. We provide a rigorous test of the dif...

description This paper examines the relationship between international migration and source country fertility. The impact of international migration on source country fertility may have a number of causes, including a transfer of destination countries' fertility norms. We provide a rigorous test of the diffusion of fertility norms using highly detailed original data on migration. Our results provide evidence of a significant transfer of destination countries' fertility norms from migrants to their country of origin: a 1% decrease (increase) in the fertility norm to which migrants are exposed reduces (raises) home country fertility by about 0.3%. Cet étudie la relation entre la migration internationale et la fécondité dans les pays d'origine des migrants. L'impact de la migration internationale sur la fécondité peut avoir plusieurs causes, y compris un transfert des normes de fécondité dans les pays de destination. On fournit un test rigoureux de la diffusion des normes de fécondité à l'aide de données originales détaillées sur la migration. Les résultats révèlent un transfert significatif des normes de fécondité des pays de destination vers les pays d'origine par le biais de la migration : un déclin de 1% dans la norme de fécondité à laquelle les migrants sont exposés réduit la fécondité dans le pays d'origine d'environ 0.3%.
