Abstract

Labor mobility is essential for structural transformation and economic growth. We investigate the heterogenous welfare effects of temporary labor mobility to different geographical and sectoral destinations in Peru, using nationwide panel-data (2017–2019) from 5,276 rural households. Estimated welfare gains are positive for labor mobility to rural, peri-urban and urban destinations, and decrease along the income distribution. Labor mobility to the non-farm food sector has lower welfare gains than mobility to agricultural or non-agrifood sectors. Our findings underline the importance of looking beyond rural–urban mobility in research and policies, as mobility to rural and agricultural destinations improves rural welfare.

向不同地域和行业目的地的临时劳动力流动提高了农村收入--秘鲁的启示

劳动力流动对结构转型和经济增长至关重要。我们利用来自 5276 户农村家庭的全国面板数据（2017-2019 年），研究了秘鲁临时劳动力向不同地域和行业目的地流动的异质性福利效应。在劳动力向农村、城市周边和城市目的地流动时，估计的福利收益为正，并随着收入分配的变化而减少。劳动力向非农业食品行业流动的福利收益低于向农业或非农业食品行业流动的福利收益。我们的研究结果凸显了在研究和政策中超越城乡流动的重要性，因为向农村和农业目的地的流动可提高农村福利。
