Migration Duration and Migration Outcomes

A chapter in Rural-Urban Migration in Vietnam, 2019, pp 97-115 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter uses the 2013 Vietnam Rural–Urban Migration Survey to study the factors associated with duration of migration and how migration duration may relate to migration outcomes. Our models show that an increase in the migration duration is closely related to migrants’ age, education and parental socioeconomic status. We additionally find that migrants with longer migration duration have better labour market outcomes as measured by a greater probability of working or higher family incomes. Migration duration, however, is not statistically significantly associated with migrants’ life satisfaction.
