Resumen: | Family remittances the money that is sent mainly from poor migrants to their even poorer relatives back home now represent the largest flow of foreign capital to most Latin American countries. Despite their huge volume in toto, little is known about the effects of these flows on the lives of the people who send and receive them, on the economic and social development of their communities, and on the prosperity of their nations. Remittances and Development joins a small number of pioneering efforts to address these critical issues in a careful and systematic way. For years to come, it will surely serve as an essential reference for new research and continuing policy debates on this still largely uncharted territory.Worker's remittances, a major source of financing for development countries, are especially important in Latin America and the Caribbean. Remittances and Development relies on cross-country panel data and household surveys for 11 Latin American countries to explore the development impact of remittances flows along several dimensions: growth, poverty, inequality, schooling, health, labour, supply, financial development, and real exchange rates. |
