Remittances typically produce the effect of increased household spending. When individuals receive money from family members working abroad, they often use that money to improve their quality of life, invest in education, health, or other household expenses.

The other options—decreased educated workforce, increase in poverty, and decreased educational opportunities—are generally not direct effects of remittances. In fact, remittances can lead to increased investment in education rather than a decrease.
