“…Therefore, this situation can have negative environmental effects. Accordingly, we claim that similar mechanisms can be valid in the case of the Philippines, because empirical studies on the Filipino case (or include the Philippines) that examine the remittances' impact on its economy conclude that remittances augment aggregate demand, personal consumption, and income (Bayangos & Jansen, 2010;S. Lim & Basnet, 2017;Paderanga, 2009).…”

“…The analysis of the long-term impact of remittances on economic growth in West Africa and the Caribbean over the period 1975-2011 showed that there is a significant long-term impact of labor remittances on incomes, while the impact on consumption is not significant [33]. The increase in remittances is not due to existing migrations that raise earnings to send more remittances in hard times at home, but stem from increased migration as a result of income shocks [34].…”

The Effect of Remittances on Poverty in the Emerging Countries of the European Union

2019

In this paper we study the evolution of remittances and risk of poverty threshold for nine emerging countries in the European Union and analyzed the evolution and trend of the share of remittances in the risk of poverty threshold. The analysis was performed on data taken from the Eurostat database for the period 2005–2017. The statistical analysis of the data showed that the evolution of both remittances and risk of poverty threshold was heavily influenced by the global economic crisis. Although after the crisis, the risk of poverty threshold has seen a growing trend in all emerging countries, the remittances have experienced sinuous variations, dramatic declines for some of the countries (drastically for Romania and Latvia) and significant increases for others (Hungary). The results of the analysis using time-dependent regression models lead to the conclusion that, although the share of remittances in risk of poverty threshold diminished abruptly after the 2009 economic crisis, in the short term it is expected to maintain a growth trend for most of the analyzed countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia), followed downward tendency after 2018 for Bulgaria and Romania, and after 2020 for Hungary and Lithuania. For Latvia and Estonia, both quadratic and cubic models estimate a decreasing evolution.

“…Yet, even in Nakhon Ratchasima, over 40 percent of families had one or more members working away from home. Building from literature that critically analyzes the role of remittances in shaping development potentialities (e.g., Bang et al., 2016; Lim and Basnet, 2017; World Bank, 2017; Yang, 2011), ethnographic data indicate that increased labor mobilities helped change the local contextual dynamics of poverty, labor availability, and as noted below, subjectivities on agricultural production. Landed families tied to migration networks could access additional forms of capital through remittances and productively invest those monies in primary sector expansion.…”

Constrained urban aspirations: Development, structural precarity and inequalities within Thai migration

This work foregrounds changing state development policies in Thailand as a way to consider the complex drivers and motivations within internal migration. Using uncertain outcomes of state development and broader socio-cultural divisions as structure, ethnographic data detail the ways personal agency marks one's aspirational character and possible futures in the pursuit of well-being and economic security. Ultimately, I argue that ongoing state development efforts to reduce poverty, increase socio-economic equity, and facilitate people's capacity to cope with daily life confront enduring challenges. Reframing development must address people's existential needs and consider how structural precarity interrelates with persistent socio-cultural inequities and prejudices.
