Abstract

Recently, migration and migrated distance significantly affects people's mood and satisfaction, and this idea has been recently incorporated in literature. The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between migrated distance and job satisfaction in Ecuador distinguishing between formal and informal workers. We use a repeated cross-section data from the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment from the period 2014–2017, and ordered probit models with random parameters to meet our objective. Our results suggest that there is a negative and heterogeneous relationship between distance on migration and job satisfaction. Moreover, we found that formal workers should be compensated at $ 0.51 USD and informal workers should be compensated at $ 0.59 USD per kilometer migrated to mitigate the negative impact of migration. These results have important policy implications, for instance, the need to promote labor policies that promote labor well-being and offset the negative effects of long-distance migration.

您愿意接受多少离家出走的经历？厄瓜多尔正式和非正式工人的内部移民和工作满意度

摘要

最近，迁移和迁移距离显着影响人们的情绪和满意度，并且这一想法最近已被纳入文献中。本研究的目的是分析厄瓜多尔的迁移距离与工作满意度之间的关系，区分正规工人和非正规工人。我们使用 2014-2017 年全国就业、失业和就业不足调查的重复横截面数据，并使用随机参数排序概率模型来满足我们的目标。我们的结果表明，迁移距离与工作满意度之间存在负向且异质的关系。此外，我们发现正式工人应获得每迁移一公里 0.51 美元的补偿，非正规工人应获得每迁移一公里 0.59 美元的补偿，以减轻移民的负面影响。这些结果具有重要的政策含义，例如，需要促进促进劳工福祉并抵消长途移民负面影响的劳工政策。
