A new study shows that restricting international migration for mothers with young children can improve children's health and educational outcomes without impacting household income. Using a real-world policy change in Sri Lanka, researchers found fewer hospital visits and better school progress among affected children. The findings provide rare evidence from an implemented migration policy and highlight how early maternal presence can shape long-term human capital investment.
