Determinants of international migration: The Nigerian Experience
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
This paper examines some determinants of international migration in Nigeria using annual time series data spanning the period 1991--2011. Using ordinary least square regression method, the results indicate that the level of unemployment, migrants' remittances and population growth are the key determinants of emigration from Nigeria to other countries, statistically significant at 0.01 level. In a country where unemployment rate is very high, this movement is likely to help in reducing pressures on the labour market. Migrants' remittances might also help in alleviating poverty within households. Migrants' remittance to Nigeria has surpassed both Foreign Direct Investment and Net Official Development Assistance inflows, making it one amongst the major sources of foreign earnings to Nigeria. Nigerians may continue to migrate to other parts of the world so long as the reasons or causes for their movement are not fully addressed i.e. if political and socio-economic issues in the country do
