- Since the early 1990s, at least 600,000 Albanians have availed themselves of the option of temporarily or permanently emigrating. Although there is no denying that the consequences of large-scale emigration and the related return flow of money do have an impact on Albanian society, the question is, how? Drawing on the returns to a survey conducted in a border district in south-eastern Albania in late 2002, including a sample of 1,315 households, this paper assesses some of the basic features of remittances--recipients, channels, frequency, forms and use--in a society that has recently become a source of substantial flows of out-migration.
