Tackling poverty-migration linkages: evidence from Ghana and Egypt Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE POVERTY BASIC NEEDS LIVING CONDITIONS STANDARD OF LIVING MIGRATION LABOUR ECONOMICS HUMAN RESOURCES This paper discusses the main challenges in the empirical literature and introduces a conceptual model to explore the links between migration and poverty. Using a bivariate probit model, the results show that poverty is a positive and significant determinant of migration. Furthermore, migration can have a significant impact on helping poor people move out of poverty. In accordance with dominant literature on migration, migration choice is determined, among other things, by age, gender, marital status, regional effects and education level. By far the largest determinant of current poverty status for all groups is their past poverty status which highlights the path dependent nature of poverty and the problematic of poverty traps. 2026-09-30T11:45:36Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33353727.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Tackling_poverty-migration_linkages_evidence_from_Ghana_and_Egypt/33353727 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
