Title: Gender Dimensions of Remittances: A Study of Indonesian Domestic Workers in East and Southeast Asia
Abstract: Gender impacts upon the amount of money remitted, the recipients of remittances, and the uses of remittances on the development of the country of origin. However, the data on global remittances is gender-blind. As a result, the impact of gender on the remittance process remains little understood. While there has been a fundamental increase in research on gender and migration, remittances have not been so thoroughly explored to date. There have been very few studies that even disaggregate remittances by the sex of remitters and senders, let alone undertake a gendered analysis of remittances. This report attempts to fill the gap by exploring gender dimensions of migrant remittances among Indonesian domestic workers in East and Southeast Asia.
