Finally, a conflict variable in origin countries (row (4)) and the level of civil liberties at home (row (5)) are included to control for the effect of political situation on migration dynamics (Peridy, 2010). In all these cases, even including all these variables, the results maintain their statistical significance. It suggests that male migration is not sensitive to the level of discrimination in the origin countries, neither in the destination. The interpretation is twofold: i) men's decision to migrate is not related to the level of gender discrimination in social institutions; or ii) the SIGI is not able to capture social pressure on male behaviour and choices.
