Abstract
This paper examines critically the relationships between migration, remittances, and the human capital development of left-behind youths. Education, work, and health outcomes are considered. Pooled and panel logit regression models are applied to a large and nationally representative dataset of youths aged 7-22 residing in Tajikistan. The analysis yields mixed findings, suggesting that some left-behind youths benefit from migration and remittances, while others are unaffected or negatively affected. Explanations for these observations are discussed. The findings of this study will be of interest to policymakers who are working to improve health and education outcomes among young people in Tajikistan.
