Our project standardizes and integrates publicly available micro data on migrants in receiving countries with micro-data on women in countries of origin to create novel data sources that allows us to weight migrants to resemble highly similar individuals in countries of origin who did not migrate.
- The first phase of our project combines data on migrants in France from Sub-Saharan Africa and Turkey with data on women in corresponding origin countries.
- Data on African and Turkish migrants to France comes from the Trajectoires et Origines Survey (TeO) collected by INED and INSEE
- Data on women in origin countries comes from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) collected by host county governments and ICF international
- Replication materials for this phase of the project are publicly available
- The second phase of the project focuses on migrants from Latin America to the United States.
- Data on migrants to the United States comes from the American Community Survey (ACS) collected by the United States Census Bureau
- Data on women in origin countries comes from the Encuesta Nacional de la Dinámica Demográfica (ENADID) collected by INEGI
The project also explores the mechanisms through which migration-related fertility exchange occurs drawing on the above data sources and additional data from the General Social Survey.
