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.'
