Remittances , Migration and Trivia

Reading this in Rediff, gave me an idea for another trivial pursuit.

What is remittance? A remittance is a transfer of money by a foreign worker to his home country.

India, once again, topped the global remittance inflows maintaining its # 1 Rank. It is not entirely surprising given the huge number of migrants the country possesses and the close ties that these NRIs/PIOs tend to have with their mother country.

Instead of boring you with my perspective on remittances & migration , I have decided to compose a small quiz on "remittances". Here it is :

1. Which country has the highest number of emigrant workers in the world?

2. Which country has the highest remittance to GDP ratio ( A whooping 45.5% in 2008)?

3. Which state in India is the largest receiver of remittances?
