_Note:_ Robust standard errors in parentheses. Marginal effects in the Multinomial logit model are reported. Sample is restricted to males aged 20-59. Agr. is short for agriculture, Manu. is short for manufacture, Cons. is short for construction, and Serv. is short for service. To combine the HIES and the RMS sample in Columns 1-4, sample weights are applied. Data source: Bangladesh HIES 2016 for nonmigrants and RMS 2018-19 for return migrants; Nepal LFS 2017-18; Pakistan LFS 2014-15 and 2017-18. * p _>_ 0.1, ** p _>_ 0.05, *** p _>_ 0.01.
