Mohammad Moniruzzaman & Margaret Walton-Roberts • This chapter reports results from a household survey conducted in 2014-15 in four villages of two sub-districts in Bangladesh to assess the effect of international remittance on household food security through the use of multiple outcome indicators. The burden of household food insecurity in developing countries is a central development and welfare concern, and it is important to assess how international remittances might improve household food security. The results indicate that migrant remittances contribute to higher household income, and therefore ensure households have better economic access to food.
