“…Contrary to this, there are a few studies observing limited influence of remittances on education investment (Airola, 2007;Cattaneo, 2010). Remittances are found to have significant effects on expenditures on health in the developing world (Cardona Sosa & Medina, 2006;Catalina & Pozo, 2011;Valero-Gil, 2009), where most medical care is still paid from out-of-pocket. Thus, in general, majority of the studies support the fact that remittances not only increase the incomes of the households that receive the funds, they also serve to enrich the human and social capital of origin households.…”

“…There are other channels through which remittances could affect growth, namely human capital and labor supply. Thus, remittances can stimulate investment in human capital and health as well (Mansuri 2006, Valero-Gil 2008. They may also influence economic growth via their effects on the labor force participation.…”

If Tunisia is hailed as a success story with its high rankings on economic, educational, and other indicators relative to other Arab countries, the popular 2011 uprisings underscored the fragility of its main economic pillars, including those of tourism and foreign direct investment. This paper examines the economic impact of migrants’ remittances, which are expected to exhibit relatively countercyclical behaviour during periods of intense upheaval. This study is novel in its methodological approach, which is used to pinpoint the dynamic effects of remittances on key macroeconomic variables within an unstable framework. The analysis reveals that the effect of remittances on Tunisia's economy has varied over time. Prior to the Arab Spring, remittances had a short‐term negative influence on economic growth, varying effects on domestic investment and positive impacts on consumption. In considering the post‐Arab uprisings, positive and strong impacts of remittances on growth and consumption are found in the long run while negative and moderate investment effects of remittances are shown over the short and medium term.

“…Smith (1776) defined human capital as skills gained through experience, education, and training, which contribute to societal value. Valdero Gil (1970) found that remittances have a significant positive effect on health outcomes in Mexico, particularly for households without health insurance. Anten (2010) discovered that remittances have a substantial beneficial effect on the nutritional status of Ecuadorian children.…”

This research aims to evaluate the socio-economic implications of remittances on households in Pokhara Valley, Nepal by employing a positivist approach, empirical observation, quantitative analysis, and statistical methods through comparative research design and utilizes statistical tools such as chi-square tests and independent samples t-tests. Quantitative data are collected through structured questionnaires, enabling numerical insights into spending patterns, human capital investments, and agricultural involvement for hypothesis testing. From the findings of this study households receiving remittances demonstrate higher investments in health and education, positively impacting their socio-economic status. However, migration for remittances has led to a decreased labour supply, negatively affecting agricultural involvement. The research concludes by emphasizing the need for further comprehensive research to elucidate the broader socio-economic consequences of remittances on households at the national level. The study holds implications for policymakers, urging measures to encourage remittance investments in domestic development. It recommends addressing import trends and balancing payment deficits by leveraging remittance funds. Additionally, the research suggests for initiatives supporting agricultural production, small industries, and market development to utilize remittance funds for broader economic growth.
