AP Human Geography
Unit 2 – Population and Migration
Topic 2.12
How might remittances sent by international migrants affect their home country's economy?
They can flood the market with foreign goods, leading to economic instability.
They usually lead to a decrease in local consumption as families save up these funds instead of spending them locally.
They generally result in high inflation rates as more money circulates within the economy.
They can contribute positively by increasing the national income.
