The migration-development nexus: Evidence from the Philippines

Hurajová, Lucia

This diploma thesis is aimed to investigate both theoretically and empirically the impact of migration on the development of the sending countries. It applies the "Three Rs" approach to examine how migrants can shape development reshape in their areas of origin via 3Rs: Recruitment, Remittances, and Return. Emphasis is put on remittances, the most visible aspect of international migration. In particular, regression analysis were carried out, using time series data over the period 1990-2014, to establish a relationship between remittances and development aspects such as economic and human development as well as comparing them with the effect of FDI and ODA. The findings indicate that migration through remittances play an influential role in the Philippines development but it comes at a price, too.
