The paper addresses the subject of remittances globally, but also regionally. Undertaking her research, the author tried to map the flows of remittances to the African country of Uganda.
The empirical part of the work employed the quantitative method and the technique of questionnaires. Considering her results and comparing them with those of other relevant researches, the author attaches importance to the impact that remittances have on the receiver families.
The remittances, their roles and consequences, are thus tackled in view of the research results.
