dc.description.abstractThe study analyzes data collected from a sample of households in which the husband migrated to work abroad. Remittances were sent by all migrants to their families who stayed behind, either on a regular basis or sporadically. In most cases (83.2%), these remittances represented between 75% and 100% of the monthly family income. The wife left behind assumes new roles outside the domestic domain that is traditionally hers. The study indicates she performs tasks that he was expected to perform; as a result, she may inadvertently become more involved in the decision-making process and more empowered in the public sphere.en
