Migration and families left behind
Résumé
The effect of a family member’s migration on those who stay behind can be either positive or negative, depending on
individual circumstances. Although remittances are a potentially important means of easing family budget constraints and
alleviating poverty, the most vulnerable populations may be hurt by a family member’s migration. Policymakers need to
consider the specific circumstances behind the migration and of the family members in the home country. Support systems
for these families may need to be bolstered to help them cope with any detrimental impacts of migration, especially its effect
on education and human capital accumulation
