Abstract

In Kerala, major chunk of state income obtained through migration and remittance. Remittance received by the state has manyfold socio-economic consequences. This paper verifies trends and patterns of remittance in Kerala by using Kerala Migration Survey (KMS) as prime data source. This paper realized steady increase in remittance from 2003 to 2018, but Gini ratio (0.26) revealed moderate regional disparity in remittance. The remittance inflow widens the gap between migrant and non-migrant households in terms of income and consumption expenditure. Similarly, utilization of remittance revealed that investment is more on real estate rather than productive activities.
