dc.description.abstractWorld literature supports the view that labor migration and remittances play a significant role in children's education of families left-behind although such evidence from Sri Lanka is lacking. Therefore, by taking a nationally representative sample of rural sector households of Sri Lanka, this study investigates the impact of migration and remittances on school enrollment of children left-behind. The data for this are coming from Department of Census and Statistics and they were analyzed using probit models. The results suggests that having an internal migrant or/ and an international migrant in rural households increase the propensity of school enrollment. However, with respect to the receipt of remittances, internal remittances play a significant role in school enrolment. Keywords: Out-migration, Remittances, Children, Education, Regressionen_US
