| Title | Remittances, Emigrants, and Education: A Case Study of Children's Education in Kosovo |
| Summary | This study examines the impact of remittances on children’s education in Kosovo. The main hypothesis states that remittances do affect children’s education positively, through easing the ability to purchase books/stationeries and pay for school transportation costs. Using data from UNDP Remittance Study 2010 and 2012, I apply IBM SPSS bivariate correlation and linear regression analysis to find out the impact of remittances on children’s education. Firstly, the results demonstrate that remittances do have a strong relationship with children’s education in Kosovo. Secondly, each additional amount of remittance used for education in Kosovo, eases the ability to purchase books/stationeries and pay for transportation costs. Furthermore, the paper notes that the positive effects of remittances in children’s education vary from the amount of remittances spend for education. Therefore, larger amount of remittances sent by migrants, the easier will be for families who receive remittances to purchase books/stationeries and pay for transportation costs. |
