ABSTRACT:
Using the data from Vietnam Living Standards Survey (VHLSS) 2014, 2016, 2018 of the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, we do research about the impact of remittances on skipped generation households. Through testing with the fixed effects model (FEM) and the random impact model (REM), we found that the remittances received by these households have positive impacts on children's education and children's health. Specifically, when increasing 1% of remittances, the probability of children going to school and entering the right age increases by 1,108 and 1,112 times; the opposite trend happened with the child malnutrition. Moreover, the degree of influence is also different for each form of remittance
