Abstract

International migration is one of the key components of local economic development in a labour sending country. The returns of migration and remittances play a significant role in the economic development and growth of the source country. The remittance causes a positive Balance of Payment as well as poverty reduction in Bangladesh. These international migrations also have impacts on micro economic issues like local and household economy, which havereceived very little attention in existing studies. Therefore, to check the issue, this study collected primary data based on a questionnaire survey from 306 Bangladesh workers who are engaged in wage-earning employment in Malaysiaduring the period of Nov-Dec 2010. This study analysed the data based on the Path Measurement Model. This empirical study found that international migration significantly improves the micro economy of Bangladesh such ashouse ownership, improvement of economic conditions, donation towards local institutes and infrastructure, new work experience, new skills, and poverty reduction. Some initiatives such as communication skills, maintaining andimproving economic diplomacy and discouraging the Hundi System (Illegal remittance transfer system) are suggested to improve these rising consequences of international migration in Bangladesh.

Abstract

The outlined target in sustainable development goals (SDG) relating to educational aspects indicates that education plays an important role and should become the primary concern of various parties. Hence, this study focused on the implications of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in educational aspects towards the development of human capital from the viewpoints of selected corporate foundations in Malaysia. This study was conducted through a questionnaire survey in which data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 20 software. The target population for this study were individuals involved with CSR initiatives conducted by four selected corporate foundations which are the implementers and students who received assistance from corporate foundations. The analysis shows that educational activities in CSR initiatives undertaken by corporate foundations have helped in the development of human capital. Both implementers and recipients give priority to scholarship sponsorships followed by school assistance, organizing workshops and seminars as valuable activities for individuals. The CSR initiatives in educational aspects have highlighted the role of corporate foundations as agents that can help individuals to achieve their dreams of pursuing tertiary education. The involvement of corporate foundations in education has created value for companies and certainly for society, in which corporate foundations have established relationships with stakeholders, as explained in the stakeholder theory.
