Abstract: Foreign remittances are the most attractive aspect of labour migration to the governments of labour-exporting countries and to individual migrants and their families. The literature on labour migration looks at the effects of these foreign remittances on recipient households and labour-sending countries in four main ways. First, remittances have commonly been associated with key macroeconomic variables, such as the balance of payments, to emphasize the capacity of the scarce foreign earnings they bring to promote domestic economic growth.
