America Latina y el Caribe - Desarrollo, migracion y remesas (Spanish, Paperback)

Los migrantes hoy en dia estan mas implicados de forma sustantiva y directa en diferentes actividades economicas y sociales con sus paises de origen. Esto es debido, en parte, a la dinamica de la globalizacion y a las nuevas oportunidades resultantes de la apertura politica y economica de las sociedades en su hogar. Las remesas poseen un efecto sobre las finanzas, y por ende sobre la economia y el desarrollo y ademas dentro de un contexto competitivo buscan aumentar la disponibilidad de ingresos mediante el ahorro y el gasto. Al aumentar el ahorro, la remesa influye sobre la capacidad de generacion de activos, de manera que crea posibilidades para el ahorro mismo y la inversion en actividades como la vivienda. En este sentido, las remesas operan como un factor que contribuye a aumentar los activos, liquidos y fijos, de quienes reciben remesas. Esta publicacion es parte de un trabajo de mas de una decada de investigacion de campo y ejecucion de proyectos que recoge y analiza como las transferencias de dinero afectan las economias, comunidades y familias en los paises receptores de America Latina y el Caribe. El presente libro ofrece un analisis sobre las tendencias de las relaciones entre remesas y desarrollo para el caso de America Latina y el Caribe y un acercamiento al conocimiento empirico, teorico y de politicas sobre este tema. Las remesas familiares representan el envio de dinero que el inmigrante manda como parte de su ingreso a sus familias en el pais de origen. Este dinero es parte de un contexto global asociado con procesos migratorios, y opera dentro de una realidad en donde las transferencias, y sus impactos en quienes reciben y sus paises, han adquirido dimensiones propias de analisis.
Description in English]
Latin America and the Caribbean: Development, migration and remittances
Migrants are now more essentially and directly involved in various economic and social activities with their countries of origin. This is partly due to the dynamic of globalization and the new opportunities resulting from the political and economic opening of their home societies. Remittances have an effect on finances, and therefore on the economy and development, and in a competitive context they also seek to increase the availability of income through saving and spending. By increasing saving, remittances influence the ability to generate assets, and thus create possibilities for saving per se as well as investment in activities such as housing. In this sense, remittances serve as a factor that helps to increase the liquid and fixed assets of those who receive them. This publication is part of a decade-long study involving field research and project implementation that gathers and analyzes information on the way money transfers affect economies, communities and families in receiver countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The book offers an analysis of trends in the relationship between remittances and development in the case of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as an empirical, theoretical and policy-based approach to the topic. Family remittances involve the sending of money by immigrants to their families in their country of origin as a source of income. This money is part of a global context associated with migratory processes and operates within a reality in which these transfers, and their impact on those who receive them and their countries, have become worthy of analysis.
