Dear Mom, Happy Mother’s Day! Sending some money. Please buy flowers as well. Missing you.

It is to be expected that migrants – a lot of them tend to be young and alone – send more money home, or more of them send money home, ahead of Mother’s Day. This is evident in the monthly flow of remittances to many countries – notably Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil and El Salvador.

Data

KNOMAD is addressing gaps and quality issues regarding data on migration and remittances by researching, collecting and publishing global data to enable more effective engagement on migration and development.

Publications

KNOMAD synthesizes existing and generates new knowledge on migration and development issues and develops a menu of policy options for use by policy makers in sending and receiving countries.
