Resumo(s)
With this comparative study, we aim for a better understanding of the role of the origin
country in shaping migration aspirations. Using experimental data collected
among a sample of Master students in Portugal and the Netherlands, we tested
whether the impact of labour market and welfare state-related factors on migration
aspirations varied between these two origin countries. In line with our expectation,
potential gains of migration in terms of job opportunities and wages had a stronger
positive impact on migration aspirations for the Portuguese as compared with the
Dutch respondents. For Portugal and the Netherlands alike, migration aspirations
were lower when the level of unemployment benefits in the destination country was
lower than in the origin country. Our findings indicated that conditions in the origin
country, as well as the individual's life stage, shape which characteristics of the destination
country are most important for migration aspirations.
