| Title | The Effect of Remittances on Education in Kyrgyzstan |
| Summary | Kyrgyzstan is one of the top remittance dependent countries in the world (World Bank 2015). Remittances support many sectors of the economy and households in sustaining livelihood in Kyrgyzstan. It is crucial to analyze how these international transfers are allocated towards the human capital investment, education. Many studies analyzed the effect of remittances on investment in human capital showing different results and conclusions. The paper uses Kyrgyz Integrated Household Survey to find the impact of remittances on expenditure on education and school enrollment. The results of the paper are ambiguous. The analysis showed that remittance recipient households, on average, spend more on education than non-recipient households, while school enrollment is not affected by remittances. Possible policy implications are provided in the concluding part of the paper. |
