Abstract: Abstract Migration and remittance certainly influence the occupational mobility (Carletto and Kilic in J Dev Stud 47(6):846–869, 2011) by reducing liquidity constraint, leisure preference and family structure (Torrado in It does not make us lazy: evidence against the moral hazard effect of remittances, The World Bank, Washington, 2012). Diversified evidences suggest to us that the effect of remittance on occupational choice or mobility is shaped by differential social–economic background, social norms and local market requirement. Hence, the local evidences and analysis are more relevant in the case of intergenerational mobility (IGM) of occupation. The present paper examines the role of remittance regarding IGM of occupation with reference to structural upward mobility (SUM, by enjoying existing structural opportunities) and exchange upward mobility (EUM, which is a reflection of policy interventions and affirmative action) between 2004–2005 and 2010–2011, to understand the equalisation effect of remittances across the social group.
