6.2 Migrant family members, money transfer methods of household with immigrants The survey results indicate that 21% of the population had a family member living in other parts of Myanmar or overseas (Figure 69). Money was most often transferred between migrants and other family members via bank or money transfer service, carrying it in cash by hand, or through someone known from the area (Figure 70). However, mobile money was not particularly popular among the respondents — only two percent had used mobile money or banking services, in 2015 and 2016. Even among the urban population, only four percent had used mobile money. 14 6 1 80 Migrated to to other parts of Myanmar Migrated to other countries Both No Figure 69: Households with migrant family members (% of households) We don’t send or receive money Other Cheque (cashed at/ deposited at a bank) Bank or money transfer service (e.g.: Western Union, etc.) 15 Through a bus driver 1 3 5 38 17 Through someone known from the area Figure 70: How money is sent and received (% of households with migrants) 21 Carried by hand in cash ICTs in Myanmar: 2016 79
