Abstract
[fr] The work studies the relationship between relative inequality and the size of international bilateral migration flows in a north-north international migration context. The data used regroups bilateral migrations flows from the years 2000 to 2015 of all European OECD member states. The literature reports an inverted U-shaped relationship between relative inequality and migration. However the few studies carried out are done in a south-north international migration context. A host of gravity models are run, with as covariates cultural, geographic, economic and demographic factors alongside the variable of interest relative inequality. The results report no clear association between the relative inequality and bilateral international migration. The estimates of the covariates are found to be by and large in keeping with estimates in the literature.
