This percentage accounts for 20 per cent of all outer island households and 30 per cent of the households on the South Tarawa (ILO, 2006b: 45). Similarly, remittances from abroad in Kiribati, Tuvalu and Vanuatu are limited, but in recent years remittances are on the rise in these countries due to labour migration to New Zealand under the “Recognised Seasonal Employer” (RSE) Scheme. There is also evidence of “reverse remittances”, where families send money from their home countries to relatives living abroad to help them cope with growing hardship (ADB, 2010b: 9). These “local remittances” are quite common in the Solomon Islands.
