Endogenous fertility and unemployment -Considering the effects of immigrants through school system

Jinno, Masatoshi and Yasuoka, Masaya (2021): Endogenous fertility and unemployment -Considering the effects of immigrants through school system.

Abstract

We consider the effects of admitting immigrants with the burden of giving schooling to the native and the immigrant children. It may sound paradoxical; this model shows admitting immigrants may improve the welfare of the native when the necessary number of educators the immigrant children need is sufficiently high. What is more, admitting immigrants also improves the employment rate of the native.
