Abstract

Studies on migration in Nepal primarily focused on the causes of migration, in general. While a few studies examined the remittances received or sent by migrants, there is little information about the variation in remittances received by households by migrant鈥檚 destination. This exploratory study attempts to answer: Does the extent to which households receive remittances vary by migrant鈥檚 destination?

This is an output from the 鈥楲abor Outmigration, Agricultural Productivity and Food Security鈥� project led by University of Michigan
