Migration social issue: Research the term "remittances" in relation to migrants who have come to the U.S. or to other immigrant destinations and who send money back to their families and communities in their home countries. I would like to see information about the impacts of remittances on a variety of countries, so each student will be assigned a specific country to research and present.
Answer these questions with regard Poland:
From where is the remittance money that comes to your assigned country being sent? How significant is this source of money in terms of amounts and the impact that it has on communities in your assigned country (what percentage of your country's GDP)? What is the remittance money being used for in your assigned country? What are the positive and/or negative ramifications to the remittances coming into your assigned country? Are there any ramifications for the country from which the remittances are being sent?
