    Abstract

    L'article étudie l'effet de l'émigration des travailleurs sur la distribution de la richesse d'une petite économie où les travailleurs sont confrontés à des difficultés d'accès au marché du crédit. Les migrants s'enrichissent en travaillant à l'étranger puis lèguent leur richesse à leurs descendants en revenant dans leur pays d'origine. Une plus grande proportion de travailleurs de la génération suivante deviennent entrepreneurs. Si l'émigration n'est pas trop restreinte, le salaire augmente et la structure du marché du travail est modifiée. L'accumulation de richesse est tirée vers le haut. Ainsi l'émigration temporaire peut conduire un pays en voie de développement hors d'un « piège de la pauvreté ».
