Questions
Hi Zahid,
I just have a few questions about your post. I'm not an economist so your anaylsis was a little confusing for me.
1. What is the different between a 'migrant worker' and a 'member of the diaspora'?
2. Why is the rise in oil price correlated to remittances? How does that affect the amount of money people send home?
Thanks for your help! I enjoyed reading your article.
