Impact of Remittances on Social Behavior towards Higher Education in District Poonch AJK

Abstract

The primary objective of the study is to check the impact of remittances on enrollment, the performance of the students of higher education, and the attitude of the households.  For this study, primary data were collected through a questionnaire. Randomly 75 migrants and 75 non-migrants were selected. The Binary Logistic model is used to check the impact of remittances on the enrollment of the students and the ordinary least square is used to check the impact of remittances on students' performance. The study concludes that remittances have a significant impact on the enrollment of the students and the impact of remittances on the performance of the students is not significant. Concerned authorities should focus on improving the performance of the students by providing different incentives through the higher education department of AJK.
