“…Internal migration in Pakistan is a driver of economic growth in key sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and services (Ishfaq et al, 2017). There are large development differentials both across and within provinces which have also contributed to extremely uneven access to public services (World Bank, 2014;Afzal et al, 2016). Policies governing internal migration and restricting or protecting internal migrants are virtually nonexistent; neither the National Emigration Policy of 2009 nor the 2010 Labour Policy mentions internal migration (Ishfaq et al, 2017).…”

We integrate two workhorses of the labor literature, the Roy and search models, to illustrate the implications of migration duration-specifically, whether it is temporary or permanent-for patterns of selection. Consistent with our stylized model, we show that temporary migrants are intermediately selected on education, with weaker selection on cognitive ability. In contrast, permanent migration is associated with strong positive selection on both education and ability, as it involves finer employee-employer matching and offers greater returns to experience. Networks are also more valuable for permanent migration, where search costs are higher. Labor market frictions explain observed network-skill interactions.
