1 Moving Up the Ladder? The Impact of Migration Experience on Occupational Mobility in Albania Calogero Carletto and Talip Kilic Development Research Group, The World Bank Prepared for the Fourth IZA/World Bank Conference Employment and Development Bonn Deutsche Post DHL 04/05/2009
2 OUTLINE Objective Background Literature Review Data Empirical Approach Results Conclusions
3 OBJECTIVE Analyze the impact of international migration experience on labor mobility of return migrants vis a vis non-migrants by using data on initial & current employment outcomes o Test the hypothesis of upward occupational mobility induced by international migration o Explore the heterogeneity of impact by host country (Greece vs. Italy & Beyond)
4 BACKGROUND : Communist regime s ban on international migration 1/5 th of population, driven by widespread poverty & unemployment, migrated abroad between 1991 and 2001; mainly to Greece & Italy o 1 in 3 HHs currently have a migrant abroad (50% of these have >1) o Remittances estimated to have exceeded $US 1 billion by 2005 o Impact of migration on poverty (+), productive investments (?) Much of the migration temporary in nature (circular) o Multiple episodes (~4 in lifetime) prior to settlement Growing number of returnees to re-establish residence in Albania o Recent initiatives to encourage the return of the highly skilled Channels of potential development impact: financial & human capital accumulated abroad

6 DATA 2005 Albanian Living Standards Measurement Study Survey (ALSMS05) o Conducted by the INSTAT, with assistance from the World Bank o Stratified into four regions: Coastal, Central, Mountain & Tirana o Total sample: 3,640 HHs in 455 PSUs o HH (w/ extensive migration module) & community questionnaires Data on o 2005 & Initial (1990 or the year individual turned 15) employment outcomes o Migration & international employment histories of all adults Sample of interest: 9,565 Individuals [15,64] years of age o Returnees within the last year are excluded from the sample o 853 return migrants (9%) in the final sample
7 DATA (2) In comparison with non-migrants, returnees are, on average, o Older o More educated o Better endowed in terms of durable assets & social capital o More likely to Be labor force participants Hold non-agricultural, particularly high-skilled blue collar, jobs Experience upward occupational mobility*
8 OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION ALSMS05 occupational outcomes classified according to the ISCO-88 o 3-digit codes 10 major groups 5 broad occupational categories Agriculture Skilled agricultural & fishery workers Low-Skilled Blue Collar Plant & machine operators & assemblers; Elementary occupations High-Skilled Blue Collar Craft & related trade workers Low-Skilled White Collar Clerks; Service workers & ship & market sales workers High-Skilled White Collar Legislators, senior officials & managers; Professionals; Technicians & associate professionals
9 OCCUPATIONAL RANKING Occupational categories ranked according to the average level of human capital necessary to be in a given category (Sicherman & Galor, 1990) o Run a wage regression on observable covariates, including years of education, a proxy for labor market experience prior to current occupation & tenure at current occupation o Average the individual sums of weighted education & experience levels within each occupational category, where the weights are the coefficients from the wage regression Occupational Category Rankings Rank Category Index Value 1 Not Working -- 2 Agriculture Low Skilled Blue Collar High Skilled Blue Collar Low Skilled White Collar High Skilled White Collar 1.20

15 EMPIRICAL APPROACH Outcome of interest: Degree of Occupational Mobility Definition: Occupational ranking in 2005 MINUS initial occupational ranking (Leigh, 1975 & Chiswick & Lee, 2005); [-5, 5] Model: Ordered Probit Covariates of interest: o Model 1: Return migrant status, i.e. dummy variable = 1 if a surveyed individual has spent at least 1 month abroad for work purposes o Model 2: Dummy variables that separately account for past migration experience in Greece, Italy & Beyond.(ITB)
16 EMPIRICAL APPROACH (2) Concerns for endogeneity of return migrant status: Past migration/return decision & occupational outcomes may be jointly determined by unobservable individual & household characteristics Solution: (Non-traditional) Instrumental Variable (IV) Approach o Probit regression of return migrant status o Instrumental variables: HH knowledge of Greek or Italian in 90 Annual avg. # of HH shocks prior to the 1 st (For Non-Migrants: Avg. for 90-05) migration episode # of HH members [0,5] in Albania during the last migration episode (For Non-Migrants: # of HH children in 98) o Use the predicted value of return migrant status as an independent variable o Empirical steps to support theoretical arguments for IV Validity?
17 EMPIRICAL APPROACH (3) D. = if an individual is male Years of age & its squared term Years of education & its squared term # of HH male members [15,60] # of HH female members [15,60] # of HH members [60+] D. = 1 if HH is female-headed HH land owned & its squared term D. = 1 if dwelling is a brick home Economic status in 90 [1,10] D. = 1 if dwelling was a single family home in 90 D. = 1 if HH receives public transfers D. = 1 if HH receives non-farm real estate earnings HH Social Capital Index (PCA) Regional Fixed Effects: Coastal Urban, Coastal Rural, Central Urban, Central Rural, Mountain Urban & Mountain Rural, where the reference category is Tirana
18 RESULTS Marginal Effects Non-IV Estimates IV Estimates Model 1 Model 2 Model 1 Model 2 Mobility Category Returnee Returnee from Greece Returnee from ITB Returnee Returnee from Greece Returnee from ITB (-5) ** *** *** *** (-4) ** *** *** *** (-3) ** *** *** *** (-2) ** *** *** *** (-1) ** *** *** *** (0) * * *** *** (+1) 0.012** *** 0.072*** *** (+2) 0.006** ** 0.035*** *** (+3) 0.006** ** 0.034*** *** (+4) 0.005** ** 0.031*** *** (+5) 0.006** ** 0.032*** ***
19 CONCLUSIONS Migration experience, particularly in ITB, promotes upward labor mobility o Robust across different specifications & sample definitions The result signals a potential positive contribution of migration to economic development in Albania o Particularly important given global economic woes and the projected trends in remittance inflows \ Important to o Build on programs encouraging return migration of the skilled o Recognize heterogeneity in return migrants needs & capabilities to realize the full potential of financial & human capital accumulated abroad
