However, evidence on direct impact of migrant remittances on poverty seems to be intermittent. Several studies based on empirical research suggest conclude that remittances are generally beneficial to development. However, this body of research work remains trivial with little literature available on the subject (Anderson & Hasiao, 1981, p 598-606). Much of the research work just focuses on the immediate monetary hither & thither. Taking the complicated & multi disciplinary nature of remittances maintaining pluralism in the methodology of the actual empiricism of research work is a necessity. Nonetheless, remittances are pitted to decrease poverty as the poor may more often than not be direct receivers of it. Even though there are very few studies that directly address the impact of remittances, it would be reasonable to assume that the amount of money transferred by migrants back to their homes have played a role in reducing poverty to an extent. An estimated 70% of migrant workers sent remittances back home. A 10 % increase in remittances in a country’s GDP has resulted in alleviation of poverty of about 1.6% every year. While this may be significant for a small, remittance driven country like Philippines it may not be of much significance to a large densely populated country like India (Bauer, 1999). What’s abundantly apparent is the decoupling of economic crises & remittances flowing into a country. A 2004 World Bank report asserts that remittances to developing Asian countries during Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 remained stable & continued to rise in many cases even though FDI & official aid flows dried up. In spite of this, the direct relationship between remittances & economic hasn’t been adequately examined.
然而，有证据的移民汇款对贫困的直接影响似乎是间歇性的。实证研究的基础上提出的一些研究得出这样的结论：汇款通常有利于发展。然而，该机构的研究工作仍然是微不足道的小文学的的主题（安德森和Hasiao，1981年，页598-606）可在。大部分的研究工作只是专注于眼前的货币到这里和那里去。以复杂的多学科性质的汇款维持多元化的研究工作的实际经验主义的方法是必要的。然而，汇款，进站减少贫困的穷人往往不是直接接收器。尽管很少有研究直接汇款的影响，这将是合理承担的数额的钱转移移民回到自己的家园，在一定程度上减少贫困发挥了重要作用。据估计，70％的农民工发送汇款回了家。一个国家的国内生产总值的汇款增加10％，导致每年约1.6％的贫困减轻。虽然这可能是一个小的，汇款驱动的国家，如菲律宾显着，它可能没有太大的意义，是一个人口稠密的国家，如印度（鲍尔，1999年）。大量明显的是脱钩的经济危机和汇款流入的国家。 2004年的世界银行的一份报告称，在1997-98年的亚洲金融危机，亚洲的发展中国家的汇款保持稳定和持续上涨在许多情况下，即使外国直接投资和官方援助流量枯竭。虽然如此，直接汇款与经济之间的关系还没有被充分研究。
