Resumo:
International migration can contribute to economic development in both countries of origin and destination. We hypothesize that the impact of migration depends on immigrant integration. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to experimentally assess the effects of providing information to support integration of Cape Verdeans immigrants in Portugal. Providing immigrants with a low-cost, easily scalable information app improved integration outcomes such as job search, the quality of employment, and regular migrant status. Additionally, it affected those left behind. Addressing migrant integration barriers in the destination country promoted political participation and gender equality norms in the country of origin.
