Abstract:
While the positive economic impact to the country by migrant remittances is an indisputable fact, the influence of such remittances on the households of migrants deserve more attention. Through household surveys, focus groups and migrants, both in situ and returnees, more data is gleaned on the patterns of migration, labour exporting countries, the use and misuse of remittances, and the overall impact of such remittances in households of Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Philippines.
