This paper explains the motivations behind contract migrant expenditures on consumer goods by focusing on Pakistani migrants in the Persian Gulf. It further highlights that migrant outlays on consumer items are a form of compensation for the financial and non financial services rendered by relatives. This also tries to establish a link between cost of migration and migrant outlay on consumer goods.
