RUIZ SANCHEZ, Joel e ACOSTA URIBE, Beatriz. Remittances and human development in San José Chiltepec, Oaxaca. A study from the capability approach. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.66, pp.239-276. ISSN 1665-0565.
In this study, we present the results of research carried out to establish the relation and incidence of remittances on human development in the town of San José Chiltepec, Oaxaca. This study was developed from a study of perception based on the Capability Approach formulated by Amartya Sen. The results obtained show that the benefits of migration which cover Human Development Reports of 2007 and 2009, are not significant, because remittances are used almost entirely to finance consumption. In this respect, the potential of subjects to transform their living circumstances are limited: it does not change substantially functions and capabilities in recipients, affecting their freedom and action capacity.
