Summary:The main purpose of this study is to use time series data from 1980 to 2017，Studying the causal relationship between international remittance inflows and poverty bet365 mobile。The motivation for this study comes from two aspects: first, the growing role of remittances in poverty reduction and human development，Second, the rapid growth of remittance inflows。Since 1998，South Africa’s remittance inflows show an upward trend to varying degrees。Take 1998 as an example，Remittance inflows into the country increased by 18.5%，Remittance inflows maintained steady growth from 1999 to 2017，Average increase is 25.3%。Our results using a multivariate Granger causality model show，When using infant mortality as a proxy for poverty，There is an obvious one-way causal flow from poverty to remittances in the short run。However，When household consumption expenditure is used as a proxy variable，No universal causal relationship found in both the short and long term。This article discusses policy implications。
