The positive effects of remittances on various macroeconomic indicators have been documented in literature. While a few studies investigated these effects on poverty alleviation, a few others have focused on access to technology and education. However, most of the studies deploy single indicator, while a few others concentrated on specific countries. This study improves on literature by deploying composite index, to examine the effects of remittances on human capital development in selected 18 African countries. The study found that remittances improve the joint measures of human capital development, and its effects on access to education were meaningful. The study thus suggests optimal utilisation of remittances and fiscal stabilisation to leverage the effects of remittances in improving quality of lives in the recipient countries.

贫困、汇款和人力资本发展的相互作用：来自选定的撒哈拉以南非洲国家的面板证据

文献记载了汇款对各种宏观经济指标的积极影响。虽然一些研究调查了这些对扶贫的影响，但其他一些研究则侧重于获得技术和教育的机会。然而，大多数研究采用单一指标，而其他一些研究则集中于特定国家。本研究通过采用综合指数改进文献，以检验汇款对选定的 18 个非洲国家人力资本发展的影响。该研究发现，汇款改善了人力资本发展的联合措施，其对受教育机会的影响是有意义的。因此，该研究建议最佳利用汇款和财政稳定，以利用汇款的影响改善接受国的生活质量。
