Beyond Remittances: Temporary Migration and the Wellbeing of Migrant Workers and Households, Evidence from Timor-Leste (Part of APA’s “Dialogues on Asia’s Demographic Future” Series)

The Asian Population Association (APA), through its Scientific Group 3: Climate Mobility, Migrants, and Health, is pleased to invite you to this upcoming webinar examining the broader implications of temporary labour migration beyond remittance flows.

While temporary migration is often promoted as a pathway to development, its wider impacts on economic security, health, skills, and post-return wellbeing remain insufficiently explored. Drawing on evidence from Timor-Leste, this webinar provides new insights into how migration shapes the lives of migrant workers and their households.
