This study aims to examine the effect o f remittances on the standard o f
living o f the remittance receiving households in Sri Lanka. Survey data were
analyzed using thematic analysis and stratified matching method in
propensity score matching. It was found that, a large majority o f labour
migrants remit money to their households left behind. However, the volume
o f remittances varies with the demographic and socio-economic
characteristics o f the labour migrants and their households. Furthermore, it
was found that remittance receiving households enjoy income from
diversified sources. Average treatment effects estimated through stratified
matching analysis reveal that remittance receivers enjoy a higher level o f
income and higher standard o f living compared to their non-remittance
receiving counterparts. Improvement o f the income by the remittances
varies with the income quintile o f the households. |
