“…Due to the specific roles of women and men in agriculture, gender disparities are connected with farm productivity and technical efficiency between female and male labor migrants. The women left behind may experience greater labor demands when male workers travel abroad for 6 months or longer, which may impact their capacity to handle agricultural activities effectively (Hatab et al., 2022). With a greater emphasis on access to land and inputs, the productivity disparities between men and women with access to these production factors remain substantial.…”

The labor movement from rural areas and the remittance flow from migrants is a common household livelihood strategy in rural Bangladesh. While migration can offer economic benefits through remittances, it can be a source of hardship for migrants and their families due to societal culture. This study examines the differences in farm productivity and technical efficiency between female and male labor migrants by focusing on female and male laborers who have lived away from their homes for 6 months or more within the country and its reflection on farm production. Using data on 2271 rice plots from Bangladesh Integrated Households Survey in 2018, we estimate plot‐level stochastic meta‐frontier approach for households with female‐labor migrants and male‐labor migrants separately emphasizing technological difference and heteroskedastic technical efficiency. The empirical result shows that the female‐labor migrants' farms have 10.3% lower production frontier (maximum frontier yield) and 6.1% higher technical efficiency than male migrants' farms, indicating that they have 4.2% lower productivity. Lower production frontier reflects lower management ability and less attention to farm practice. Moreover, the study reveals that female‐labor migrants' farms are closer to the meta‐frontier, suggesting smaller technology gaps. However, some farmers failed to achieve the highest possible output in relation to the meta‐frontier, indicating that farmers can boost their production by adopting and disseminating new rice production technology.

Tajikistan has relied on remittances by international migrants that have exceeded a quarter of annual GDP to date, despite a series of exogenous adverse events in the mid‐2010s. We use a nationally representative panel dataset collected in 2013 and 2018 to explore the socio‐economic characteristics of households with international migrants and migrants themselves. We provide several new findings. First, the prevalence of households with international migrants is 40%, with a substantial transition in migrant status during the research period. Second, households with international migrants are not poor, have Russian‐speaking members, and are supported by an intense migration network. Third, younger, single, and more educated males comprise most of Tajikistan's international migrants. Fourth, households without Russian‐speaking members or migration networks in 2013 had begun to send international migrants by 2018, while households in the richest group had exited from migration, suggesting s transition of the socio‐economic composition of migrant‐sending households during the mid‐2010s.

This article focuses on the study of the evolution of internal migratory exchanges between all administrative regions of the Algerian territory between the years 1987 and 2008. The objective of this article is to quantify the intensity and concentration of internal migratory flows, the spatial orientation of migrants, the regions of preference, as well as the efficiency of interregional migration in Algeria. For this, we used the net migration rate, the Gini Coefficient index, the preference index, as well as the regional and national efficiency index. In order to carry out this work, we have created the matrices of migratory flows between the nine Algerian administrative regions based on migration data, which is published by the national statistics office. The results obtained show that migrations took place from the South to the North, with a preference for the Capital region and that for the Eastern Highlands. In terms of the efficiency of migratory flows, the redistribution of the population is very low, which makes the regional imbalance persistent, unless the regional planning policy is modified by developing new plans and methods to reduce the interregional imbalance.
