Tiivistelmä: | The author presents the results of ILO surveys into the motivation and use of remittances by migrants from Tonga and Western Samoa. His analysis shows that, contrary to the generally accepted view, remittances are not only used for immediate consumption but also for savings and investment. More funds are remitted when they are intended for savings and investment than when they are primarily for family consumption, considers Richard Brown. |
