We found a negative and statistically significant relationship between the disbursement of remittances and the threat to future poverty that rural households could experience. 2012-03-30T07:33:33Z 2012-03-30T07:33:33Z 2010 Journal Article World Development 0305750X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5586 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Mexico
