One of the significant distinctions of this study from the previous one is that rural settlements throughout the perimeter of the country were covered and the regional differences in migration intensity (taking into account their impact on the living standard of labour migrants and their households) are considered. Studies at a national level enable to have a general understanding of the economic dynamics of migrant remittances and their role in poverty reduction, at least, among the households with labour migrants. Another important point of the study is the determination of factors affecting the population migration activity and regional comparisons. It allows understanding why the migration intensity is high in some regions as compared to others and which factors is the key.
