“…Our finding-that receipt of remittances led to a reduction in labor supply to nonfarm selfemployment-is similar to the finding of Amuedo-Dorantes and Pozo (2006b) for the Dominican Republic that receipt of remittances was associated with a reduced probability of owning a business. Our labor supply findings also match the evidence from Kyrgyzstan (Dávalos et al, 2017), Egypt (Binzel & Assaad, 2011), and Cambodia (Roth & Tiberti, 2017), which pointed to an increase in hours supplied to extended economic activities (household chores) or unpaid family with respect to other economic activities.…”

“…This finding corroborates evidence from Kyrgyzstan (Dávalos et al, 2017), Egypt (Binzel & Assaad, 2011), and Armenia (Grigorian & Melkonyan, 2011), who found a reduction in hours supplied in general. Similarly, evidence from Cambodia points to a negative impact of international migration on wage work and a positive impact on unpaid family work, as well as a negative impact on labor-force participation (Roth & Tiberti, 2017).…”

Nepal has one of the largest personal remittances-to-gross domestic product ratios globally, which raises questions regarding the role of remittances in key welfare-related outcomes among the left-behind population. This paper assesses the impact of remittances from international migration on the left-behind households' engagement in nonfarm self-employment and on the revenues of the nonfarm enterprises they operate. The empirical analysis is based on a Nepal household survey that includes an enterprise module for 2011 and on an instrumental variable-tobit econometric specification. In accordance with Gronau's theoretical framework, remittances were found to discourage women's engagement in nonfarm self-employment (disincentive effect), whereas there was no significant effect on men. Consequently, we find that the disincentive effect was sufficiently strong to exert a negative impact on the revenues of nonfarm enterprises operated by the left-behind.

“…We found that nine articles concerned the debate on frees killed of labour migration policies in Cambodia. To be sure, current studies continue the discussion on free migration of cross-border countries (Bylander, 2015, 2017, 2018; Rossi, 2015; Oka, 2016; Roth and Tiberti, 2017; Lawreniuk and Parsons, 2017; Arnold and Hess, 2017; Marshall, 2018). Since the AEC Blueprint was enacted in 2015, the primary free migration has wide skill gaps in the agriculture, service and industrial sectors.…”

PurposeThere is an ongoing debate in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint 2015 concerning the skilled labour migration policy regimes. This review aims to systematise the free flow of skilled labour migration policies in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) countries.Design/methodology/approachThis review utilised a qualitative systematic in peer-reviewed journals for the period 2015–2019. The initial search identified 28,874 articles. Of those articles, 10,612 articles were screened, 738 articles were checked, 150 articles were selected and 18 articles met the criteria. Data were analysed using thematic synthesis (e.g. coding, categorisation, synthesis and summarisation).FindingsThe review suggested that free movement from CLMV countries is the cause of the mass exodus of unskilled migration to high-income countries. The review found that the free flow of migration policy in the AEC Blueprint 2015 is associated with illegal, unauthorised and unskilled workers in the host country.Research limitations/implicationsA systematic review is qualitative in nature, in which the relevant existing literature lacks some empirical studies, and the results must be generalisable.Practical implicationsThe current systematic review provides a visual diagram for practical implications to isolate undocumented, illegal, unpermitted and unskilled migrant workers and further reduce the mass exodus of migration from CLMV countries.Originality/valueTo the authors' knowledge, this is the first review to extend the literature to the macro-level determinants of free flow of skilled labour migration policies in CLMV countries. The present review seeks to inform the policy responses of moving freely between sending and receiving countries.

“…We define as an international migrant any former household member who was residing abroad at the time of the survey 11 . As in Roth and Tiberti (2017) 12 , we define as an internal migrant any individual who left her household of origin and moved to another Cambodian province for job-related reasons. The migration module of the survey also collects information on individuals who moved to other parts of Cambodia for other reasons; we do not consider them to be internal migrants 13 .…”
