Abstract

Ce papier vise à analyser l’impact des envois de fonds sur le travail des enfants nigériens et leur scolarisation, à partir de la Troisième enquête nationale sur le budget et la Consommation des ménages (Niger, 2007). Notre méthodologie diffère des études précédentes sur le sujet : premièrement, nous ne prenons en considération que les ménages non-migrants, afin de délimiter les effets de la migration de ceux des envois de fonds. Deuxièmement, nous utilisons la technique d’appariement en score de propension (PSM) pour calculer l’impact des envois de fonds sur l’allocation du temps des enfants. Nos résultats soulignent le rôle positif des transferts de fonds sur la scolarisation des enfants. L’effet sur la mise au travail des enfants est cependant plus complexe et dépend de la régularité des transferts reçus par le ménage, mais également de l’occurrence des chocs négatifs perçus.
