Impacts of international migration & remittances on source country household incomes: Fiji & Tonga (pdf 185kb)

This paper addresses the interrelationships between migration, remittances and household income in two Pacific Island countries, Fiji and Tonga.  The analysis aims to identify the effects on household income sources of the combined impacts of the migrant's absence.  It also looks at the inflow of remittances, taking into account how migration and remittances can have both positive and negative effects.

More specifically, it analyses the combined effects of migration and remittances on household income from waged-employment, commercial and subsistence agriculture, and other business activities including self-employment.
