Social security and migration with endogenous skill upgrading
Article Abstract:
The joint redistributive effects of migration and pensions and reassessment of the sustainablility issue, raised in the existing economic literature, was investigated. The analysis shows that, migration causes redistributive effects which increase, across-group wage inequality. However, the endogenous educational response by residents partially offsets the redistributive impact of migration while creating additional interest groups.
