Migration and Remittances in Moldova

Abstract

"This Special Issues paper examines the microeconomic characteristics, macroeconomic consequences, and policy challenges of labor emigration and remittances in Moldova. Drawing on household survey data, it attempts to explain why Moldovan workers go abroad and how their remittances are used. With this background, the paper provides insights into policy challenges of coping with, and maximizing benefits from, international labor mobility and the large inflows of remittances."--Preface, pg vii.
