Host Heterogeneity

The two channels that explain how migration of a household member affects human capital formation of those left-behind are income and family disruption effects. In this study, remittances and migration impacts on human capital formation in Jordan is researched with respect to preferred migrant destinations and to the originating governorates of migrants. Jordan’s Labour Market Panel Survey-2010 is used to carry out the analyses. Remittances are found to have a positive impact on “schooling”, and findings do not change significantly across households with respect to the host country. There is no solid evidence of family disruption, except in households where both parents are absent; however, this is limited with those who have chosen Arab countries as the host. Heterogeneity in the education level of migrants from different governorates does not play a significant role that effects a schooling decision, except for Mafraq.

Despite different attitudes, Most economists stressed on the importance of human capital ,and  its positive impact on the economic development process and the effectiveness of the physical production elements, these elements may not have that functionality without the human element. Thus, the human capital within education cycle education in capital formation is the most productive elements that can contribute to economic development.  Economic growth theories suggest that technical progress increases in the long term and technical progress rapidly when a better educated workforce, hence the human capital information helps in technical progress and is a source of sustainable development. Moreover, current study aims to identify the human capital and the importance of investing in education, and how to build human capital formation by investing in people through education in Kurdistan region-Iraq. Besides, verify the hypothesis which suggests that increased spending in education contributes to the development of human capital being provides the basis for individual breakthrough by developing his skills and creativity to achieve economic and social development goals, and that expenditure on education in Kurdistan-Iraq achieved a marked quantitative change but did not play its role in developing human capital.

The Impact

Temporary unskilled migration and the remittancesit generateshavethe potential to reduce child labor and improve educational outcomes in developing countries. However, recent literature points towards the adverse impact of the parental absenteeism on children left behind. We build a theoretical model to explore the joint impact of remittances and parental absenteeism on child labor and human capital formation of children left behind in the context of unskilled workers’ migration. We find threshold conditions for the relative wage of source to destination countriesbeyond which unskilled migration helps in reducing child labor and increasing human capital. Moreover, the threshold is endogenous and depends on the sensitivity of human capital formation to parental absenteeism relative to the child’s time spent on acquiring human capital. In a special case when the former is equal to the latter, the wages in the destination country should at least be twice as much as in the source country to have a detrimental (promoting) impact on child labor (human capital formation). Since the importance of parental absenteeism would depend on a variety of sociocultural factors such as marriage, presence of extended families, religious communities, and social networks, there will be heterogeneity in the impact of unskilled migration.

Future Tense

This research establishes the influence of linguistic traits on human behavior. Exploiting variations in the languages spoken by children of migrants with identical ancestral countries of origin, the analysis indicates that the presence of periphrastic future tense and its association with long-term orientation has a significant positive impact on educational attainment, whereas the presence of sex-based grammatical gender, and its association with gender bias, has a significant adverse impact on female educational attainment.

The Impact

The benefits of human capital in a nation are enormous and all encompassing. This study investigates the impact of independent generated revenue of the three tiers of government in Nigeria on human capital formation from 2003 to 2017. The purpose is to determine the effect of internally generated revenue of each level of government on human beings in the country. Revenue powers of three tiers of government in Nigeria are the product of fiscal decentralization being practiced in the country. Thus, Ordinary Least Square technique has been employed to perform the multi-regression analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The findings indicate that federal and local governments’ independent generated funds do not have significant positive impact on human capital development while the state government independent generated revenue exerts significant positive influence on human development index used as proxy for human capital formation in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends among others that the three levels of government in the country should strive harder to boost independent revenues for more adequate investment in human capital of the nation.
