From the supplier: Portfolio investment theory suggests that migrant behavior and remittance flows are determined by group decision making and objectives. The decision of migrant workers is ordered by family needs for stable income levels, provided by a diversified portfolio of laborers, and the need to jointly insure the family's well-being. Studies of the labor migration phenomenon in Botswana, India and the Philippines underline the importance of the family as the critical decision-making entity in migration. It is important, therefore, for migration policy to address these non-migrants and recognize the possibility that policy measures focused on migrants may be attenuated or amplified through familial reactions and responses.
