摘要：
This paper explores the influence of educational attainment on the
likelihood of migration from Finland. Annual hazard rates for migration
in the late 1980s and 1990s are estimated using detailed micro data
from the Finnish longitudinal population register. We show that
the effect varies notably by age. Around age 20, the lowest educated
people have the highest migration rates, whereas in higher ages
the best educated are the most prone to migrate. We also find that
people raised in the upper social classes have approximately twice
the migration rates of those originating in the lower social classes.
Socioeconomic background even turns out to have a stronger impact
on migration than education has. The results highlight that making
inference about the effect of education on migration can be highly
sensitive to agespecific migration patterns, and that more attention
should be directed towards the situation in the family home as a
migration determinant.
