Workers' remittances represent a resource flow from rich to poor countries. The global value of remittances has risen sharply to over US$100 billion a year. This represents the second largest external income source for developing countries behind foreign direct investment (FDI), and far outstrips official development assistance (ODA). Remittances to developing countries are becoming increasingly important as other sources of external income decline. The impact of remittances on development, however, is inadequately reflected in the literature
