This is one in a series presenting essays by various authors on the relationship between development and international migration. The focus of this volume is on the growth of small businesses in the Caribbean and Central America. It offers an analysis of the employment and income potential of the small business sector in a number of migrant-sending countries. Contributing authors evaluate programs that support the sector and give recommendations for improving their effectiveness. Several seek to explain why most countries in the region have not made the most of remittance income to create employment. Finally others examine the imperfectly understood linkages between remittances and small businesses. (EXCERPT)
