Description
Summary:This article assesses the effects of international remittances on the global participation rate (GPR) and unemployment rate (LIR) in order to answer the question of whether the recent increases in both rates stem from a reduction in remittances. The hypothesis is that such reduction would compel people outside the labor market to try to enter it again. The article finds that this hypothesis is true. People with stable remittances tend to reduce their number of working hours, a situation that changes when such remittances decrease.
