Mutluluk ve Uluslararası Göç: Genel Bir Bakış

Öz:

Son yıllarda mutluluk ekonomisi adı altında yapılançalışmalarda bireylerin yaşam memnuniyeti üzerindeyalnızca mutlak gelir gibi nesnel kriterlerin etkisininolmadığı, Neo-klasik kuramın ihmal ettiği bireyin yaş,cinsiyet, istihdam durumu, eğitim, medeni durum gibisosyo-demografik özelliklerinin yanı sıra nispi gelir,kurumsal faktörler, etnik kimlik, ayrımcılık vb. pek çokfaktörün de etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bireyin göçkararının altında birçok etken yatmaktadır. Bunlardan enönemlilerinden birisi göç sonrası elde etmeyi umduklarıekonomik iyileşmedir. Ancak bireylerin gelirlerinde göçsonrası mutlak anlamda bir artış yaşansa bile yaşammemnuniyetleri beklenilenin aksine azalabilir. Göçsonrası bireyler kendilerini varış ülkesindeki veya geridebıraktığı ülkedeki bireylerle ekonomik ve sosyal açıdankıyaslama eğilimindedirler. Yapılan çalışmalarda göç edenbireylerin mutluluğu üzerinde mutlak gelir yerine nispigelirin daha belirleyici olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmamutluluk-göç ilişkisi üzerine yapılan bir literatüraraştırmasıdır.

Happiness and International Migration: An Overview

Öz:

In recent happiness economy studies, it has been found that objective criteria such as absolute income is not the only effect on the life satisfaction of individuals. Sociodemographic characteristics such as age, gender, employment status, education, marital status neglected by neo-classical theory and many other factors like relative income, institutional factors, ethnic identity, discrimination etc. influence life satisfaction. There are many factors which effect immigration decision of individual. One of the most important ones is the economic improvement that they hope to obtain after migration. However, even if there is an absolute increase in the income of the individuals after the migration, their life satisfaction may decrease on the contrary to expectations. Post-migration individuals tend to compare themselves economically and socially with individuals in the country of destination or the country they left behind. Previous studies reveal that relative income is decisive on happiness of immigrants instead of absolute income. This study is a literature review regarding happiness-migration relation.
