used for the study is regression models. The results of the study show that socioeconomics conditions of the migrant’s households became better as compared to the
condition before migration in terms of migrant’s children’s education, housing
conditions, living expenses, annual income, and status in the society. R-Square value of

migrant family) is explained by the independent variables. Major destinations of the
migrants were the Middle East and Europe. Most of the migrants were matriculated

such policies which encourage the households to further invest these remittances, such
as starting small businesses and establishment of small industrial units.
