Emigration, remittances and the education of children staying behind: Evidence from Tajikistan
We study the relationship between migration and children´s education in Tajikistan - one of the poorest and most remittance-dependent economies in the world. The analysis of a unique threewave household panel survey reveals that emigration of family members is negatively associated with children´s school attendance. Receiving remittances does not offset this negative effect. Migration of non-parent family members (such as siblings) is particularly detrimental to school attendance, especially among older children and children from less educated households. This supports a conjecture that emigration in Tajikistan has a negative signaling effect on the education of children staying behind.
