Remittances, migration and inclusive growth : the case of Nepal

‘Inclusive growth’ is understood to encompass both a lasting reduction in absolute poverty and a more equitable distribution of the gains from growth. In other words, the focus has shifted from quantity to quality of growth. Remittances can have impacts beyond simply increasing household spending power: they can alter behavior in other social spheres as well, for example, by changing attitudes towards gender, education or participation in the labour market. These changes can also potentially contribute to reduction in poverty and income inequality
