“…Bouoiyour et al (2016) found that Moroccan households receiving remittances have increased school attendance. Binci and Giannelli (2018) concluded that remittances improve children's access to education and reduce child labour in Vietnam. These studies collectively highlight the important role of remittances in enhancing human capital and contributing to societal development.…”

This research aims to evaluate the socio-economic implications of remittances on households in Pokhara Valley, Nepal by employing a positivist approach, empirical observation, quantitative analysis, and statistical methods through comparative research design and utilizes statistical tools such as chi-square tests and independent samples t-tests. Quantitative data are collected through structured questionnaires, enabling numerical insights into spending patterns, human capital investments, and agricultural involvement for hypothesis testing. From the findings of this study households receiving remittances demonstrate higher investments in health and education, positively impacting their socio-economic status. However, migration for remittances has led to a decreased labour supply, negatively affecting agricultural involvement. The research concludes by emphasizing the need for further comprehensive research to elucidate the broader socio-economic consequences of remittances on households at the national level. The study holds implications for policymakers, urging measures to encourage remittance investments in domestic development. It recommends addressing import trends and balancing payment deficits by leveraging remittance funds. Additionally, the research suggests for initiatives supporting agricultural production, small industries, and market development to utilize remittance funds for broader economic growth.

“…Remittances provides households in the lower income bracket some economic freedom, especially in instances of sudden shocks and allow consumption smoothing as recipients gain access to credit and are free to save for shocks (Mohapatra et al, 2009). In the past, remittances have significantly worked at bringing down poverty levels in the home country along with improving educational outcomes (Binci and Giannelli, 2018).…”

In this brief, we draw attention to Pakistan with the purpose of diversifying research on brain drain of individuals who migrate from the country primarily in search of a better quality of life and institutions, particularly focusing on the healthcare sector. Brain drain in Pakistan has become a perpetually rising phenomenon with more and more highly skilled workers leaving the country, yet there is relatively less research on this group. Pakistan offers a unique insight into migration of skilled workers from developing states due to the recent economic turmoil, as well as the consequent effects on the country, the repercussions for those who remain behind, and policy instruments used to maximise benefits for all stakeholders. Brain drain in the country has led to a shortage of highly qualified medical professionals, and poor returns on investment by the government. INTRODUCTION In discussions about the flow of human capital, there is a common belief that developing countries are increasingly becoming a source of talented individuals who eventually end up in developed countries due to a lack of adequate institutions or environments in their home countries to support them. International migration benefits immigrants by allowing them to achieve a higher income and better quality of life. While origin countries experience an influx of remittances, increased trade and technological transfers, they also incur losses in human capital and subsequent brain drain. Despite increasing trends in brain drain, most studies on migrants’ demographics and sociology tend to neglect it. In this brief, we draw attention to Pakistan as a significant region to add to research and theory on studies of migration patterns in developing countries. Pakistan, we argue, exemplifies the global trend of brain drain as approximately 832,339 Pakistanis went abroad for employment in 2022, which is the highest number since 2016 and the third-highest ever recorded according to the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment (BEOE). Additionally, official records indicate that among those who traveled overseas in 2022, over 92,000 were graduates and more than 350,000 were trained workers and labourers (BEOE, 2022). Therefore, Pakistan -a low income country- presents a distinctive prospect to analyse a rapidly growing and diverse brain drain phenomenon as it offers important insights for migration scholars in comprehending the various factors associated with high-skilled worker migration, its effects on the country, the repercussions for those who remain behind, and policy instruments used to maximise benefits for all stakeholders.

“…In a related manner, the consequences of migration on left-behind children have received growing attention over recent years. Binci and Giannelli (2018) use Vietnam Living Standards Surveys and fi xed effects regression to show that remittances after domestic migration reduce child labour and increase school attendance for origin households in the country. In contrast, applying cross-sectional methods remittances from international migration seem to be more important than remittances from domestic migration.…”

Panel data has become the gold standard for causal assessments of complex human behaviour in quantitative social science. The objective of this review is to examine and discuss how panel data and related methods contribute to the identification of causal relationships in spatial mobility research. We illustrate this by providing a succinct overview of recent progress in spatial mobility research, drawing on panel data. The review outlines research from a number of scholarly disciplines that maps patterns, establishes determinants and assesses the impact of spatial mobility for a range of outcomes. Studies presented in this article are used to decipher complex interdependencies over the life course, scrutinise the selectivity of migrants, and shed light on the interplay between individual agency, social embeddedness and socio-structural contexts. The article concludes with a set of critical issues for future research. * This article belongs to a special issue on "Identification of causal mechanisms in demographic research: The contribution of panel data".
