What the paper says

This study investigates gender differences in remittance practices among migrants in Japan, focusing on motivations, behaviors, and financial inclusion outcomes. Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), we identify eight thematic subgroups based on underlying patterns in factors like socioeconomic background, financial service familiarity, and migration stage. Findings both affirm and challenge conventional views, revealing that while women overall prioritize savings, men are more motivated by altruism and family support. By examining these interactions, we offer new insights into how gender roles evolve in different migrant contexts, enhancing our understanding of the complex drivers behind remittance practices and financial inclusion.
