  • Title: Earnings adjustment of temporary migrants.
    Author: Dustmann C.
    Journal: J Popul Econ; 1993; 6(2):153-68. PubMed ID: 12318062.
    Abstract:
    "The present paper shows that in the case of temporary migration the optimal investment into country specific human capital should be lower than in the case of permanent migration. Investments may not be sufficient to allow migrants' earnings to catch up with those of native workers." Earnings profiles of temporary migrants in West Germany are analyzed and compared with those of permanent migrants in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Data concern the 1980s.
