Migrant Remittances - Growing Phenomenon in Global Economy
Original language description
Currently, we experience growing international migration, which surely influences both the destinations as well as migrants' origins. One of the consequences of emigration on source countries is inflow of financial remittances from migrants to their families in origins. The research area although receives more and more attention from the researchers, is still relatively under-researched, not much is known on the heterogeneous effects of emigrants on remittances flow, and the effects of remittances on economies. Yet, the impact of migration on remittances seems to be very important part of globalization process and possible source of growth in developing and poor countries. Through remittances, migrants transfer funds, information, ideas and practices. Remittances link societies of origin and destination by processes of mobility and exchange and they consist of financial and non-financial part (e. g. ideas and values). Growth of remittance flows is accelerating in the last decades and it is higher than official development assistance. This tentative paper tries to review existing literature on the topic and offers first descriptive evidence on trends in migration and remittances across the world countries.
