- Internal migration, remittances, and labour force participation in rural India: a gender perspective Mohd Imran Khan Ashapurna Baruah The paper examines the impact of domestic remittances on the labour supply of male and female household members in both market and non-market work. After controlling for the selectivity of migration and endogeneity of domestic remittances using the instrument variable approach, estimates show that the supply of male and female left-behind members in market work decreases with the inflow of remittances. Domestic remittances do not affect the participation of left-behind members in regular salaried work and the relocation of labour occurs from decline in casual wage work and unpaid family work to increase in self-employment activities especially among female members. Additionally, the remittance inflow significantly increases the participation of female left-behind members in domestic duties. The disaggregation of sample in different age groups did not affect the general findings of the study. publication.journalArticle
