Journal article: Often studied in terms of remittances from international migration, intra-family transfers in Senegal may also stem from internal mobility. A detailed analysis of the relationship between the migrants, main contributors to the expenditures of their household of origin, and the recipients of their remittances is crucial to understand the dynamics of resource sharing and the social norms attached to these transfers. Using a qualitative survey conducted in Senegal in December 2012 allowed us comparing the statements of both types of migrants (domestic or international) and of members of their households who stayed back. This enabled us to contrast the different migration and socioeconomic patterns of individuals with comparable initial family conditions, as well as the different attitudes towards redistribution depending on the structure of the transfer network and on their position in the network.
