Remittances and Labor Supply in Post-Conflict Tajikistan
Published By: MICROCON: A Micro Level Analysis of Violent Confli | Published Date: October, 01 , 2010This paper analyzes the impact of remittances on the labor supply of men and women in post-conflict Tajikistan. It is found that on average men and women from remittance-receiving households are less likely to participate in the labor market and supply fewer hours when they do. The negative effect of remittances on labor supply is smaller for women, which is an intriguing result as other studies on remittances and labor supply (primarily focused on Latin America) have shown that female labor supply is more responsive to remittances.
