ACOSTA RANGEL, Rafael E. y CAAMAL-OLVERA, Cinthya G.. Remittances and School Attendance in Mexico. Migr. Inter [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.2, pp.85-111. ISSN 2594-0279. https://doi.org/10.17428/rmi.v9i33.1333.
This article researches the relationship between remittances and school attendance in Mexico. Synthetic panel data was used to measure school attendance of children and youth born between 1981 and 1998. It was found that the greater the importance of remittances on family income, the more positive the relationship to school attendance. An increase in remittances is related to an increase in school attendance measuring between 4.89 and 11.7 per cent. The positive effect of remittances on school attendance increases in households with extreme levels of marginalization.
