{"title":"Extent and Determinants of Decision-Makingpower of Wives of Expatriate Workers in the Bangladeshi Family","authors":"A. H. Quddus, Rashida Khanam, M. Begum","doi":"10.1353/jda.2022.0079","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/jda.2022.0079","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:Millions of Bangladeshis work as expatriate workers across the globe, but most of the married ones leave their families in native homes, who either live independently or with the parents of husbands or with own parents. The study has attempted to understand how the absence of husbands affects their decision-making power in the family. Data were collected using a sample survey of 400 wives of expatriate workers. A composite variable of 10 statements from simple to complex family matters was included in the interview schedule to measure the extent of decision-making power of wives during their husbands' absence and using it as the dependent variable to identify the factors associated with decision-making power. Descriptive statistics were used for describing the profile of the wives of expatriate workers and determining wives' level of decision-making power, while inferential statistics were used for identifying the factors associated with the decision-making power. Wives are young, literate, poor, majority landless and joint family member, and in debt for husbands' expatriation. About 56% of the wives receive remittance and 63% of them control it. Although two-thirds of the wives control the remittance, the level of decision-making of wives remains at a moderate level. The regression analysis has shown that, a wife has to be a remittance recipient or a remittance controller or an aged woman or any combination of the three to become a decision maker, in addition to the absence of the husband. The decision-making in a family being a complex interplay of multiple actors in a private home, a direct macro level policy is difficult to execute and may not be accepted in society. Indirect micro level policy like posting women in remittance transacting desks in banks and financial institutions, may encourage more husbands to send remittance to their wives to have their money in safe custody. Since regression analysis has found receiving and controlling of remittance have a significant relationship with decision-making power, the more wives receive the remittance, it is likely more wives will control it, and thus more wives will be empowered to make decisions.","PeriodicalId":286315,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Developing Areas","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123585733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Capital Inflows, Macroeconomic Conditions and Growth Convergence in The West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ)","authors":"Ogbuagu Matthew Ikechukwu, S. Olufemi, Ogunniyi Babatope Matthew, Oladipo Oladapo","doi":"10.1353/jda.2022.0066","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/jda.2022.0066","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:Capital inflows have been pinpointed as an important pathway through which the low-income, poor savings and investment as well as widening resource-gap, characterised within the West African sub-region can be filled. Besides the above, the convergence hypothesis has been identified as an important model with which to confirm evidence of club-convergence among countries within the sub-region aimed to supporting or refuting the call for a single-currency or monetary union recently agreed upon by the individual Heads of State. To achieve the above, this study employed Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lagged (PARDL) Technique to examine the threshold effects of capital inflows and macroeconomic conditions, as well as their interactive effects, necessary to spur growth and facilitate convergence among WAMZ countries from 1980 to 2017. The findings revealed that index of macroeconomic conditions and capital inflows are substitutes. Also, thresholds of capital inflows and macroeconomic conditions equivalent to 2.2 percent and 6 percent of GDP respectively are required within each member countries in order to enhance growth and accelerate growth convergence. The study recommends that macroeconomic stability should be ensured, in order to maintain inflows of adequate dosage. In addition, governments of member countries should maintain a threshold of 2.17% and 5.99% of GDP for index of capital inflows (CAPIN) and macroeconomic conditions (MACRO) in order to attract and retain investible funds, reduce external shocks arising from volatility, which in turn enhance growth and convergence. Most significantly, policy-makers should not rely on capital inflows in the short run because it transmits negative signals into the WAMZ economies which militates against growth. Rather, deliberate efforts should be channelled at advancing human capital and trade facilitation through qualitative education and infrastructural financing. In order to extend this study, researchers interested in international macroeconomics can re-examine the capital inflows-macroeconomic conditions relation by adding institutional quality into the models.","PeriodicalId":286315,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Developing Areas","volume":"63 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134621836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
