dc.description.abstract | Tajikistan’s narrow economic base and high dependence on migrant labor remittances makes the country’s economy heavily dependent on external factors. In Tajikistan, women are responsible for family care and do not work outside the home, relying solely on money earned by their husbands. About 89% of labour migrants regularly send remittances to relatives and households. The majority of families receive remittances at least every 3 months. The paper discusses the structure of remittances, how they vary, and the factors behind variability. Policies that support education and vocational training would help reduce migration outflows and increase resilience. | en |
