FRIAS Junior Researcher Conference - The Economics of Migration: Perspectives on Family, Gender, and Fertility

The conference wants to address the gender and family perspective in migration decisions and their consequences for origin and destination countries.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Economics of family migration
• Gender differences in the determinants of migration
• Gender-specific selection patterns
• Consequences of migration for origin or destination countries
• Migration and fertility

 
Our focus is to bring together researchers who focus on different theoretical and empirical aspects of gender-specific and family-specific migration issues. We welcome both theoretical as well as empirical papers by economists and other social scientists.
