Meer over het boek

Focusing on the impact of economic inequality, this academic paper investigates how it affects the migration patterns of high- and low-skilled individuals. Utilizing immigration data from 20 OECD countries between 1985 and 2010, the study empirically tests the correlation between a receiving country's inequality levels and the influx of skilled migrants. The research aims to provide insights into whether economic disparities influence the decision of individuals to immigrate based on their skill levels.
