abstract: 'The objective is to present our contribution to the theoretical
literature through a simple theoretical model dealing with the effect of
remittances on the labor market of the origin countries and on the other
hand to test this relationship empirically in the case of Tunisia. The
methodology used consists of estimating a panel of the nine main
destinations of the Tunisian migrants in Europe between 1997 and 2017.
The empirical results show that the main factors explaining the decision
to emigrate are the economic factors related mainly to the income
differential, the demographic factors related to the differential age
structure of the origin and host populations, and the cultural factors
linked basically to the language mastery. Indeed, the migrant stocks are
one of the main determinants of the remittances to Tunisia. But there
are other variables that do not lack importance such as the economic
conditions linked by the host countries. This shows that Tunisian
migrants react more to economic conditions in European countries than in
Tunisia. The economic situation of European countries dominates the
number of emigrants as an explanatory factor for the amount of transfers
from Tunisian emigrants. Similarly, the results confirm that an increase
in remittances significantly reduces the demand for employment and
therefore increases the unemployment rate. This positive correlation
reveals that the impact of demographic changes on the effect of
remittances occurs through an increase in unemployment due to the aging
of the population, which coincides with the case of Tunisia going
through a demographic transition period.'
