Abstract: This note analyses the impact of remittances on subjective poverty in the Latakia region in Syria. By using an online survey, results suggest that people who receive remittances are less likely to be significantly exposed to subjective poverty. Remittances have a meaningful effect on the well-being of the households receiving them despite an acute economic and political crisis.
