Resumen
Descripción
The European Union (EU) is the main source
of remittances world wide and Albania, struck by abject
poverty, is Europe’s number one country sending out
migrants. Albania’s economy as well as its households’
welfare strongly depend on remittances. Consequently,
the topic of migration is cutting-edge for EU and
Albanian policy makers. Thus, up-to-date information is
decisive for taking effective policy measures. This poster
paper aims at making a fruitful contribution to
understanding the varied context of migration in
Albania. It presents recent data on socio-economic
characteristics of households with absent family
members. A binary logistic regression is employed to
identify determinants of participation in international
migration in Northern Albania.
