This report starts by presenting the
international and Italian context of international
remittance flows in the past decade, as a general framework
of the study (chapter two). The connection between the labor
market integration of migrants with the more general
economic trends in their destination countries is a crucial
issue in the current academic and political debate. Trends
and impacts of the economic crisis reflect themselves in
micro-behaviors and affect also the transnational activities
of migrants. Chapter three presents the objectives of the
research and the related survey design and sampling
techniques for the fieldwork, while a specific
methodological note is added at the end of the report on the
fieldwork phase. Chapter four focuses on empirical findings
from the analysis of the 480 interviews collected. After a
brief description of demographic and economic conditions of
interviewed migrants, the core of this section is devoted to
the analysis of migrants’ attitudes and behaviors in sending
remittances, in engaging in investments and savings, and to
explore changes across time and according to their
occupational status at destination. In light of the global
commitment to the reduction of remittance costs as a part of
a more comprehensive strategy to foster the migration and
development nexus, a specific section deals with remittance
service providers and remittance costs revealing still room
for improvement for the development of a competitive and
transparent remittance market. The conclusive chapter
highlights the main empirical findings and suggests further
lines of analysis on migratory models, migrant economic
integration and transnationalism from the collected
empirical evidence. |
