Abstract

The purpose of this article is to acquire a better knowledge of how remittances are used and their impact on migrant family members back home. For this the main objective of this project are tow fold. First, this research aims to analyze in which sector remittances are used for household consumption within migrants family back home. Second, it aims to identify the dark side of remittance such as dependency, voluntary unemployment, domination, life leading cost. According to the study's findings, remittances are a crucial source of income for many families, assisting in meeting basic necessities, reducing poverty, and driving economic growth. However, Remittance creates dependency among migrant family members. That is the cause of voluntary unemployment. Being unemployed makes them more dependent on migrants and migrant members get an opportunity to exploit their family members who are financially dependent on them, resulting in conflicts. Remittance also is the cause of increasing life leading costs. Moreover, remittance creates a fascination among family members that leads to taking illegal ways to go to the UK. The study followed the qualitative approach. The information was gathered during fieldwork in Sylhet. In-depth interviews are one of the research methodologies used.
