However, there is no consensus among past studies on whether smallholder agricultural systems are deteriorated, are reinforced or remain unchanged due to the labour migration for foreign employment and the remittance received. This study aims to examine the effects of labour migration for foreign employment on productivity and technical efficiency of rice farmers applying it to the case of Nepal. The study is based on primary data obtained through cross sectional single-visit survey of randomly selected representative samples of migrant and non-migrant households during January 2022. Sample for the study consist of 140 households, comprising 67 migrants and 73 non-migrant households. The study employed Cobb-Douglas production function and stochastic production frontier analysis to estimate productivity and technical efficiency respectively. T-test was conducted to see the difference between the socioeconomic and farm-related characteristics of migrant and non-migrant households. The study found that the average yield of rice was lower in the migrant households than that of non-migrant households. The mean value of marginal productivity of land was estimated 0.89 quintal per kattha for migrant households and 1 quintal per kattha for nonmigrant households. The mean value of average productivity was estimated 1.33 quintal and 1.43 quintal for migrant and non-migrant households, respectively. Similarly, the estimated mean technical efficiency level was 82 percent for migrant household and 94 percent for non-migrant households. Moreover, the migrant households lagged behind in socio-economic and farm-related characteristics including land holding, access to irrigation, mechanization, education, use of inputs and output compared to non-migrant households. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that labour migration for foreign employment has negative effect on farm productivity and technical efficiency. There is a need for more in-depth analysis at a greater scale.Item Foreign Employment and Remittance Economy of Nepal: A Case Study of Dhuseni VDC, Ilam(Department of Economics, 2006) Karki, Bed PrasadNot availableItem Foreign Labor Migration and Use of Remittance (Dharan-8 of Sunsari District)(Department of Sociology, 2019) Rai, PratichhyaNot availableItem International Labour Migration: An Anthropological Case Study from, Khurkot VDC of Parbat District(Central Department of Sociology and Anthropology, 2013) Subedi, Salik RamNot AvailableItem Labour Migration to India as a Livelihood Strategy (A Case Study of Gwadi Village Development Committee, Gulmi)(Department of Geography, 2006) Thapa 'Regami', Nim BahadurNot availableItem Labour migration & its impacts in gender role & women empowerment: A study of migrant workers' families in Rajghat Village of Sarlahi District(Department of Sociology, 2019) Kepchhaki, Buddha SinghThis thesis basically looks into the changes in the experience and gender roles of Nepalese women in the pretext of rapidly increasing foreign labor migration of men. Literature on migration from Nepal mostly focuses on economic gains made through remittance inflows. The changes in gender role and the transformations in women’s lives caused by labour migration are largely neglected. This study is therefore an attempt to examine women’s experiences, as they assume the role of household heads, financial managers and single parents, in a society that has historically suppressed their freedom. The study specifically focuses on the changes in women’s work responsibilities, their decision-making abilities and their participation in social activities to draw inferences as an impact of men’s temporary absence at home. My analysis is based on insights from interviews with wives of migrant workers. In general, it is found that men’s migration increases women’s work responsibilities and often reduces their ability or willingness to participate in different socio-cultural activities. Also it is found that women’s position in the household is central to influencing their participation in decision-making and their involvement in social activities. Women who take on the role of household head are more likely to gain decision-making power and experience an increase in social participation. These consequences are highly sensitive to the regional socio-cultural norms as well as women’s caste, class, and individual characteristics. The findings from this study help the readers understand the consequences of migration from a gendered perspective and provide insights that may be valuable in developing policy measures for fighting against gender inequality and providing women with the resources to cope with the challenges faced during men’s migration.Item Labour Migration to India : As a Livelihood Strategy (A Case Study of Khaira VDC, Pyuthan District)(Department of Geography, 2006) Pokhrel, NarayanNot availableItem Looking for the Employment Abroad Effects of Labour Migration on Rural Economy, Agriculture and Social Cohesion A Case Study from Eastern Nepal(Department of Geography University of Bergen, Norway, 2007) Bhandari, Ritu RajNot AvailableItem Role of Labour migration in livelihood A Sociological Study of Satiswara VDC, Tanahun District(Department of Sociology, 2008) Shrestha, SaralaNot availableItem Role of remittance in rural development (A case study of Padampur VDC, Chitwan District)(Department of Rural Development, 2016) Acharya, AshokThis study is based on the role of Remittance in Rural Development- A Case Study of Padampur VDC in Chitwan District.
