This article analyzes the overall and type of developmental impacts of remittances for migrant-sending households (HHs) in districts of Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, an HH-based human development index is constructed based on the dimensions of education, health and housing, with a view to enrich insights into interactions between remittances and HH development. Using high-quality data from a HH micro-survey for Punjab, the study finds that most migrant-sending HHs are better off than the HHs without this stream of income. More importantly, migrant HHs have significantly higher development in terms of housing in most districts of Punjab relative to non-migrant HHs. Thus, the government would need policy interventions focusing on housing to address inequalities in human development at the district-HH level, and subsequently balance its current focus on the provision of education and health.

However, the success of resource investment is also strongly influenced by the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure. Based on data of physical and non-physical investments of government expenditure in education and health sectors from 2007-2017, shows a positive trend with relatively increasing value. Meanwhile, based on data of human development index progress in Pekanbaru city in recent years showed a relatively declining value. This contradicts the theory of endogenous romer which explained that when the government or private sectors invest in human resources, it will encourage the improvement of human resources quality that reflects the progress of human development index. This study uses secondary data, namely government physical and non-physical expenditure data in the field of education and health in Pekanbaru City on Regional Budget in 2010-2017. The independent variable is government physical and non-physical expenditure in education and health sectors. While the dependent variable is the Human Development Index.

Due to a disparity in Human Development Index (HDI) among regencies and cities in Special Region of Yogyakarta, this study aimed to examine whether HDI convergence occurred in this province. The data were sourced from the Statistics of Special Region of Yogyakarta, including HDI, infrastructure, and gross regional domestic product in four regencies and one city from 2001 to 2019. The infrastructure consists of installed electricity, education, and health facilities. The results showed an absence of HDI convergence between regions in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Furthermore, HDI growth in the impoverished region was slower than in leading ones, resulting in a gap. The infrastructure gap made the impoverished region unable to catch up with leading ones, causing an HDI divergence. In contrast, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) has no impact on HDI. Therefore, the government needs to improve infrastructure in disadvantaged areas to increase HDI.

Kerala is considered as the most social advanced state of India, and can in many respects be seen as “the Scandinavia of India”. But despite the fact that Kerala scores high on the Human Development Index as well as many other welfare indicators, there are arguments that generalized trust—when people trust most people even if they do not know them—is low. In this text, Kerala is sometimes compared to Sweden, one social-democratic well-developed welfare state in Scandinavia, and it is argued that the family constellations, the historical relations between the working-class movement, the employers and the government, as well as the extensive remittance economy characterising Kerala, have reduced trust through creating large inequalities and decreasing civil engagement.
