Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka svenska ungdomars motiv till att emigrera till andra länder i världen, där resesyftet inte är arbete, studie eller relation - relaterat. För att skapa en grund till undersökningen så har sekundär data i form av en rapport från SOM-institutet vid Göteborg Universitet analyserats, där statistik och fakta på svensk emigration under de senaste decennierna presenteras. Med detta som bakgrund har vi sedan gjort en kvalitativ undersökning genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem olika respondenter som alla har spenderat en tid utomlands utan att ha rest med arbete, studier eller en relation som motiv. Det vi menade att ta reda på genom att intervjua respondenterna var kortfattat deras motiv till emigration, med frågor som om hur idén uppstod, vilka andra drivkrafter fanns samt vilka mål och förväntningar respondenterna hade och om dessa uppfylldes. Det vi har fått fram har sedan ställts mot teorier på bland annat resemotiv, emigration, mobilitet samt den resandens identitet. Resultatet vi fick fram från den sekundära datan visade att Sverige likt resten av världen är på väg in i en emigrations-era och att vi likt många andra nordiska länder har en stigande siffra vad det gäller emigration, och att denna siffra till stor del består av unga personer. Det vi fick fram genom våra semistrukturerade intervjuer var att det till stor del handlar om självförverkligande för ungdomar som emigrerar, de vill uppleva, träffa nytt folk och sätta sig in i nya situationer för att lära känna sig själva och hitta nya identiteter. Att göra detta i ett nytt land passar bra då nya både väntade och oväntade situationer och utmaningar uppstår som leder till att gränser testas och att man som emigrant sätts inför prövningar man inte varit med om förut, vilket leder till självförverkligande och identitetsfinnande.

This dissertation studies migration and remittances through a macroeconomic framework. In the first chapter, I compare the impact of national and regional borders on the migration decisions of agents. Migration between regions within a country is observed to be higher than migration between countries; moreover, both types of migration respond similarly to differences in economic opportunities. These observations are analyzed with the aid of a symmetric two-country dynamic general equilibrium model with labor mobility. The model is solved using dynamic programming and estimates of the latent cost of crossing borders are obtained through the method of simulated moments. The results show that the mean moving cost associated with crossing an international border is more than twice that of crossing a regional border. One important consequence of this high cost is that the mere presence of a national border decreases aggregate welfare by about 0.15% in terms of annual consumption for countries such as Sweden and Denmark. In the second and third chapters, I analyze how remittances by emigrants to their home countries affect welfare, consumption, savings, investment and the structure of production between traded and non-traded sectors in developing economies. For both these chapters, I solve a macroeconomic model with an endogenous remittance decision. However, while the second chapter considers remittances driven by investment or savings motives, the third chapter considers altruistic remittances. / text

All populations present the historian with certain questions. Their origins, the date of their arrival, their reason for coming and finally, how they came - all demand explanation. The population of Ulster today, derived mainly from Scotland, far from proving an exception, personifies the problem. So greatly does the population of Ulster differ from the rest of Ireland that barbed wire and road blocks periodically, even now, demark the boundaries between the two. Over three centuries after the Scots arrived, they still maintain their differences from those who Inhabited Ireland before them.
