Remittances from Sweden – an Exploration of Swedish Survey Data

Lisa Pelling, Charlotta Hedberg and Bo Malmberg 2011

The present study explores data on transfers of gifts/economic support to relatives, and analyses these in relation to different kinds of income, education, age, time since migration, acquisition of citizenship and family situation. Amongst the results, it shows that flows of remittances to developing countries from Sweden appear to be relatively small in comparison to flows from other developed countries.
