This paper develops a model to analyze human capital investment and earnings patterns of target saving temporary migrants. The analysis will point out differences in investment- and earnings profiles which are due to differences in individual characteristics of migrant workers. The model predicts that earnings profiles of temporary migrants vary considerably due to differences in their saving targets, their ability level, their skill level upon arrival, their consumption pattern and their intentions after return to their home countries. The model provides a theoretical basis for the estimation of earnings profiles of temporary migrants.
