Produktbeschreibung
In order to meet the International Monetary Fund's debt-reduction guidelines, many developing country governments have had to retrenth their social welfare systems. This book is about how remittances--the hundreds of billions of dollars international migrants send to family members in their home countries each year--are helping to fill this welfare gap and prevent civil unrest in developing countries.
