Abstract
El lugar central que actualmente ocupan las remesas en el terreno económico ha restringido en buena medida su alcance a la dimensión monetaria de las mismas, relegando la complejidad que encierran y la variedad de formas, usos y significados que éstas pueden tomar. Precisamente la dimensión social de los diferentes tipos de remesas, como sobre todo las propias remesas sociales, deberían ser tenidas en cuenta en mayor medida como uno de los efectos más significativos de la migración en relación con el desarrollo humano. El propósito de este artículo es tratar de contribuir al campo de las remesas, tanto en el estudio de las dimensiones sociales que éstas encierran, como en el intento de realizar una conceptualización más precisa sobre las mismas.
The central position currently occupied by remittances in the economic field has largely restricted its scope on the monetary dimension of them, setting aside their hidden complexity and the variety of forms, uses and meanings that they can take. In fact, the social dimension of different types of remittances, as mainly own social remittances, should be considered more as one of the most significant effects of migration in relation to human development. The purpose of this paper is try to contribute to the field of remittances, both in studying the social dimensions that they contain, and in trying to make a more precise conceptualization on them.
