The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a popular destination for migrant workers worldwide, not just from Asia. Along with expanding the UAE’s economic activities, the amount of remittance outflows has increased dramatically, making it the second-largest remitting country, just behind the United States. This study looks into the important demographic factors that influence migrant remittance behavior in the Emirates. The examinations revealed that age, race, marital status, and a number of dependents are the most important factors influencing remittance behavior, while gender is found to be insignificant, proving the popular premise of female altruism to be incorrect. The findings are expected to assist policymakers in the government in devising ways and means to reduce remittance outflows as they have vital implications for some key macro-economic variables such as inflation and exchange rate as well as financial service providers in the UAE, in orchestrating a suitable promotional strategy to target suitable cohorts.

阿拉伯联合酋长国 (UAE) 是全球移民工人的热门目的地，而不仅仅是来自亚洲。随着阿联酋经济活动的扩大，汇款流出量急剧增加，使其成为仅次于美国的第二大汇款国。本研究调查了影响阿联酋移民汇款行为的重要人口统计因素。检查显示，年龄、种族、婚姻状况和受抚养人的数量是影响汇款行为的最重要因素，而性别则无关紧要，证明女性利他主义的流行前提是不正确的。
