En la política normalmente se asume una «triple ganancia«» entre migrantes, países de origen y países de destino, ya que se considera que la migración laboral temporal genera resultados económicos positivos para todos. Sin embargo, a pesar de que las economías receptoras de mano de obra se benefician de la explotación de los ejércitos de reserva de trabajo y cuidado, las implicaciones que en el ámbito del desarrollo tiene el capital de las remesas de los hogares migrantes y de las economías donde éstas se originan, han sido escasamente teorizadas. Este artículo expone una crítica de las remesas como capital en la escala del hogar, nacional y global para demostrar cómo la migración laboral temporal ha dejado la economía de Sri Lanka en una situación de precaria desigualdad y dependiente de las remesas. El dilema de Sri Lanka estriba en una contradicción principal: el desarrollo desigual ha llevado a poblaciones marginalizadas hacia el empleo en el exterior, sólo para que sus remesas financien un modelo de desarrollo del cual están excluidos.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Temporary labour migration from Sri Lanka to West Asia commenced in 1977 and has since become a dominant livelihood strategy for households and the largest source of export earnings for the economy. Dominant policy-level assumptions of a mutually-beneficial «triple win» between migrants and countries of origin and destination claim that temporary labour migration produces positive economic outcomes for all. Yet while labour-receiving economies clearly benefit from exploiting reserve armies of labour and care, the developmental implications of remittance capital for migrant households and sending economies have remained under-theorised. This paper advances a critique of remittance capital at household, national and global scales to demonstrate how temporary labour migration has left Sri Lanka a precariously uneven and remittance-dependent economy. Sri Lanka&#8217;s dilemma hinges on a central contradiction: uneven development has forced marginalised populations into foreign employment, only for their remittances to finance a model of development they themselves are excluded from.]]></p></abstract>
