The model is used to analyze the impact of migration on human capital development. The model shows that migration, with remittances to non-migrant poor households, has a positive impact on non-migrant households’ human capital accumulation (‘brain gain’). The model shows that migration (or the option of) induces human capital investment. However, it is shown that remittances have a negative impact on the growth that migrant households enjoy in the rich country. In addition, strong links to source country reduce the educational attainment of second-generation migrant households
