Ekonomik Kalkınmada Göçmen Transferlerinin Rolü: Mit mi Gerçek mi?

Dünya ekonomisinde özellikle 1980’den sonra meydana gelen değişim ve dönüşüm süreci kısaca küreselleşme kavramıyla kodlanmıştır. Bu süreçte iletişim ve ulaşım maliyetlerinde görece düşüş yaşanmıştır. Buna ilave olarak küreselleşmenin beraberinde getirdiği tehdit ve fırsatlar, insanların doğdukları yerlerden başka yerlere göç etmelerini hızlandırmıştır. Böylece dünya çapında artan insan hareketliliği, uluslararası göç kavramıyla ifade edilmeye başlanmıştır. Küreselleşme sürecinde artan uluslararası göçün temel öznesini yurt dışına çalışmaya giden göçmenler oluşturmaktadır. Göçmenler göç ettikleri ülkelerde kazandıkları paraları kendi ülkelerine göndererek ülke ekonomilerine önemli katkılar sağlamaktadırlar. Bu yüzden göçmen dövizleri veya transferlerinin ülkelerin sosyo-ekonomik kalkınmalarına etkileri son dönemde pek çok çalışmaya konu olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, uluslararası göçle birlikte miktarları hızla artan göçmen dövizlerinin ülkelerin ekonomik kalkınmalarına etkisini analiz etmektir.

The Role of Remittances in Economic Development: Myth or Reality?

The change and transformation process which has occured in the world economy, especially after 1980, is briefly named as globalization. In this process, communication and transportation costs have decreased comperatively. Moreover, threats and opportunities brought by globalization have accelerated the migration of people to places from their place of birth. Therefore, increasing human mobility around the world has begun to be expressed by the concept of international migration. Immigrants workers are the main subject of increasing international migration in the globalization process. Immigrants make significant contributions to the economy of their own countries by sending the money they earn. Thus, the effects of immigrant foreign exchange or transfers on the socio-economic development of countries have recently been subject to many studies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of rapidly increasing amounts of immigrant foreign exchange on economic development of countries.
