This policy note summarizes findings from the article “Who Leaves, Who Moves In? The Impact of Positive and Negative Income Shocks on Migration in Senegal.” Research results confirm that Senegalese household income is not automatically pooled. Rather, the income is distributed according to who controls the additional monies remitted by migrant workers. The design of social protection policies should take into account the complexity and diversity of family arrangements.
