the destination state shaping migrant's remittances.

What is it about?

Migrants’ remittance is understood as motivated by their migrants’ altruism and self-interest. Based on a comparison among Bangladeshi migrants remitting from the USA, the UAE, and Japan, this qualitative study demonstrates how the destination state affects migrants’ remittances by immigration policies regarding entry, period of stay, and labor market participation of the migrants in the destination country. This study complements the existing migration literature by adding structural contexts in which the migrants’ remitting practices are embedded.
