Abstract
⺠The prospect of migrating to a developed country induces acquisition of human capital. ⺠With saving, will the prospect of migrating have the same effect on the acquisition of human capital? ⺠The option of saving does not negate the positive impact of the chance to work abroad on the formation of human capital. ⺠If, when migration is possible, individuals save, then the investment in human capital is greater than when migration is not possible. ⺠The magnitude of the effect of the prospect of migrating on human capital formation can even be greater when saving is an option than when it is not.
