Remittances and Well Being in Georgia
Anano Kipiani, CRRC Georgia
Wednesday, June 1, 2022 at 18:30 Tbilisi time
A common coping strategy for dealing with difficult economic situations for Georgian families is emigration. Approximately three in four Georgian families report having a close relative abroad, and one in five receives support from these relatives in the form of monetary remittances. In this talk, Anano will present the result of data analysis examining what demographics are more likely to have relatives abroad and to receive remittances, as well as the results of a quasi-experimental matching analysis showing the effects of these remittances on household well-being.
Anano Kipiani holds a master’s degree in Economics from the International School of Economics at Tbilisi State University (ISET) and a bachelor’s degree in Informatics from Tbilisi State University. A combination of her technical background and social science interests pushed her into policy analysis and qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Her main research interests include the health, social, religion, cultural and educational sectors. She is actively involved in public demonstrations for freedom of speech and expression.
