The Roy-Borjas model predicts that international migrants are less educated than nonmigrants because the returns to education are generally higher in developing (migrant-sending) than in developed (migrant-receiving) countries. However, empirical evidence often shows the opposite. Using the case...

Michael Kalinowski und Harald Pfeifer, Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung, sehen in dem Anstieg der Zahl junger Erwachsener ohne formalen Berufsabschluss ein Problem. Eine Reduzierung könne nur durch eine verstärkte Einbindung schwächerer Jugendlicher in das Ausbildungssystem gelingen. So...

Mentoring programs can strongly improve the transition from school to work for disadvantaged adolescents. Results from our field experiment indicate that a German mentoring program markedly boosts school achievement, patience, and labor-market orientation of students from highly disadvantaged...

We present the first evidence that international emigrant selection on education and earnings materializes through occupational skills. Combining novel data from a representative Mexican task survey with rich individual-level worker data, we find that Mexican migrants to the United States have...
