Index on strictness of migration policy

Description
The Fondazione Rodolfo Debenedetti collected information about migration policy reforms in the EU15 countries (except Belgium, Luxembourg and Sweden) over the period 1990-2005. The attached tables provide information on the sign of each reform, analyzing whether the measure increased the generosity of the immigration policy. We define a reform as permissive if: it lowers requirements for entry and to obtain residence or work permits, it introduces one temporary permits for both residence and work, it reduces the number of years to obtain permanent residence permit, and if it helps the integration of migrants into the community. On the other hand, a reform is considered as restrictive if: it introduces a quota system to entry, it increases requirements for entry and to obtain residence or work permits, it raises the number of years to obtain permanent residence permit and it introduces residence constraints. In order to construct an index of strictness of migration policies, the authors collected information on twelve EU15 countries, from 1990 to 2005, along six different dimensions: 1. The number of certificates and procedures needed to be admitted as a foreigner, whatever the motivations may be. 2. The number of certification or procedures required to legally reside in the territory. This differs from the requirements for entering the country as holding a valid document is typically not sufficient. 3. The number of years required to obtain a permanent residence permit. 4. The number of administrations involved 5. The number of years of stay required to obtain a first residence permit. 6. The existence of a quota system The six dimensions were initially expressed either in different units or in an ordinal scale. To make those measures comparable, the authors converted them in cardinal scores and we normalized them to a range from 0 to 6, with higher score representing stricter regulation. Furthermore, they also incorporated asylum legislation by using the index of strictness from the Asylum Policy Index developed by Hatton. The previous six criteria only apply to immigration for economic reasons. the authors excluded from our classification text laws that strictly concern asylum policy or citizenship. As a last step, the authors computed an overall summary indicator for each country, averaging the values of the six sub-indexes plus the index of strictness of asylum legislation.

Migrant Remittances and Development Cooperation

Authors Jørgen Carling
Description
This report has been commissioned by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). Migrant remittances are transfers of value by emigrants or their descendants to their country of origin. Registered remittances to developing countries are will be close to 100 billion USD in 2004, or roughly one and a half times official development assistance. In addition, a large, unknown amount is transferred through informal channels or to countries that do not report statistics on remittances. The effects of remittances on development are often complex and contradic-tory, but seen in a positive light by the majority of analysts. In a handful of developing countries, remittances from emigrants account for more than 10 per cent of GDP. Remittances are of high importance to the national economy of eleven of Norad’s 25 partner countries, and of considerable importance in another eight countries. Remittances are transferred through a variety of channels that differ with respect to cost, speed, convenience and other factors. From a policy perspective, it is desirable to reduce transfers costs, discourage the use of informal channels, and promote transfers that enter financial institutions in the receiving country. The latter has come to be seen as a principal strategy for increasing the benefits of remittances. Rather than relying on entrepreneurship by migrants or their relatives, it is possible to encourage saving in financial institutions, thereby increasing access to credit for entrepreneurs who may or may not be migrants themselves. Other strategies for increasing the development effects of remittances include financial incentive schemes to increase the volume of remittances, matching the development investments of migrant associations with government funds, and improving the investment climate for small and medium enterprises. In many cases it is possible and desirable to implement policies that do not involve positive discrimination of migrants or their families. Several of Norway’s partner countries are represented with sizeable immigrant populations in Norway. Other European countries increasingly see policies on immigration and integration on the one hand, and development cooperation on the other hand as linked. This could also be fruitful in Norway.

Demografische Effekte von Wanderungen auf Ebene der Bundesländer

Principal investigator Manfred G. Scharein (Principal Investigator)
Description
"In diesem Projekt werden mittels ex-post-Modellrechnungen die demografischen Effekte von (Binnen- und Außen-)Wanderungen quantifiziert, die zusätzlich durch Wirkungen auf die Altersbestände (zum Beispiel potenzielle Kinder, die mit ihren Eltern zu- oder fortgezogen sind) sowie durch unterschiedliche Altersstrukturen von ansässiger und Wanderungsbevölkerung entstehen. Dies erfolgt für den Zeitraum von 1991 bis zum aktuell möglichen Zeitpunkt für alle Bundesländer differenziert nach Binnen-, Außen- und Gesamtwanderungen. Neben der Möglichkeit diese Effekte in absoluten und relativen Bevölkerungszahlen zu ermitteln, gelingt es, die durch die Wanderungen induzierte Alterungsbeschleunigung an Hand der resultierenden Änderungen des Medianalters im Zeitablauf zu messen. Der Effekt durch die Binnenwanderungen der Jahre von 1991 bis 2006 ergibt, dass die Geburtenzahl für Ostdeutschland (ohne Berlin) ohne Binnenwanderungen um etwa 12 Prozent größer, in Westdeutschland (ohne Berlin) dagegen um gut ein Prozent kleiner gewesen wäre. Weiterhin hat der Effekt die Alterung in Ostdeutschland um bis ein Drittel (Frauen) beziehungsweise ein Viertel (Männer) verstärkt, daneben auch in Niedersachsen, Saarland und Schleswig-Holstein. Im übrigen Westdeutschland, vor allem in den Stadtstaaten, ist sie davon abgeschwächt worden. Die Außenwanderungen wirken sich in allen Bundesländern im Effekt positiv auf den Bevölkerungsbestand und auf die Geburtenzahlen aus und mildern die Alterung mildert. So hat der durch die Außenwanderungen erzeugte Altersstruktureffekt die Alterung in Ostdeutschland um ein Elftel, in Westdeutschland um ein Siebtel abgeschwächt. Außerdem wird im Rahmen dieses Projektes die neue demografische Ziffer „Total Migration Effect Rate“ (TMER) entwickelt. Mit dieser lässt sich der zusätzliche demografische Effekt von Wanderungen bestimmen, die immer dann entstehen, wenn sich die ansässige und die Wanderungsbevölkerung in ihrer Alterszusammensetzung und ihrem demographischen Verhalten unterscheiden. Vereinfacht gesagt drückt diese Ziffer aus, wie viel Prozent der Differenz in den Bestandszahlen zwischen zwei Zeitpunkten allein auf das Konto dieser altersstrukturellen Unterschiede zwischen ansässiger und Wanderungsbevölkerung gehen. So zeigt sich unter anderem, dass sich die Binnenabwanderung vornehmlich Jüngerer aus den ostdeutschen Bundesländern von 1991 bis 2006 zusätzlich auch altersstrukturell auf den Bevölkerungsbestand des Jahres 2006 auswirkt. Der Altersstruktureffekt ist in den drei Stadtstaaten, in Bayern und Hessen positiv, diese Länder haben also altersstrukturell (im Bevölkerungsbestand) von der Binnenwanderung profitiert. Negativ ist er in Ostdeutschland, aber auch in den übrigen westdeutschen Ländern. Der Bevölkerungsbestand von Sachsen im Jahr 2006 wäre beispielsweise ohne den Altersstruktureffekt der Binnenwanderungen um +1,8 Prozent größer, wobei dieser Effekt hauptsächlich auf die, mit den jüngeren Frauen abgewanderten, und somit reduzierten Geburtenzahlen zurückzuführen ist. Der Altersstruktureffekt der Außenwanderungen ist in Ostdeutschland, Niedersachsen und dem Saarland auf den Bevölkerungsbestand negativ, also zusätzlich alternd und schrumpfend, die übrigen Länder haben altersstrukturell von der Außenwanderung profitiert."
