The study focuses on the effects of incomes from the cross-border
workers on their families in original country. Incomes from
cross-border works have been proven to be very important resources
for the family of cross-border workers. It helps smoothing the
daily necessary expenses and eases investment in human capital. The
study also shows that even though women are the budget managers in
the family, they just have decisive role for daily petty spending.
For bigger expenses, men are the final decision makers. In
addition, even though involving in productive works as men, women
are still expected to fulfill reproductive works. Therefore,
women's burden is increased; they have to adjust to fulfill two
tasks. Besides, the study also shows that although income from
cross-border works helps women have more economic contribution to
their households, the gender relation in the household does not
change much; men are still the head of the households because of
the influence of ethnic norms and socially constructed gender
norms. However, it can help women have better attitute from their
husbands.
