This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the prism of a Nepali remittance village, this book critically examines poverty and livelihood dynamics remade through transnational labour migration and remittances, and their interrelationships with land, rural labour and agriculture. The concept of The Remittance Village emphasises rural people’s transnational mobilities as a key feature of contemporary dynamics in many parts of the Global South, which are reconfiguring rural social, economic and ecological textures. Sunam challenges complacent linear narratives that assume new opportunities such as transnational migration, and remittances provide better pathways for the rural poor to come out of poverty, as well as narratives that understate the importance of land and farming for the rural poor. He demonstrates both that new opportunities are inaccessible for many poor people and that accessing these opportunities often engenders increased precarity and vulnerability. In The Remittance Village, he finds that even those accessing new opportunities are successful only when their household member(s) are simultaneously engaged in in-situ (non-)agricultural activities. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students from a range of interdisciplinary backgrounds, including human geography, anthropology of development, and sociology. It is also recommended reading for policy makers, international development agencies and I/NGOs working on rural development in the Global South.

Download or read book International Labor Migration and Livelihood Security in Nepal written by Knerr, Beatrice and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As measured by its per-capita income, Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, with large parts of its population trapped in poverty within a stunning, but difficult to control natural environment. Under these conditions, since the wake of the 21st century, international labour migration and the associated remittances of large amounts of foreign exchange have rapidly gained influence on the country’s economic and social development, triggered by internal disturbances, in particular economic downturn and political upheavals, as well as external dynamics which boosted an uprising international demand for unskilled labour. While there is hardly any basic dissent about the short- to mid-term Positive growth effect for Nepal’s economy, surprisingly little is known about the consequences of this form of livelihood security at the individual household level, apart from some anecdotal evidence, although neither policy makers nor NGOs may effectively craft their strategies without considering this phenomenon. This book was developed from an Alumni Workshop held in Kathmandu in 2015, where, focusing on this knowledge gap, wide-ranging original research about the consequences of family members’ absence and the receipt of remittances was presented. Moving on from this starting point the authors further elaborated their work to make it accessible to a broader public, and exploitable as a resource for policy making and follow-up research. In addition, this volume includes detailed facts and figures about outmigration from and inflow of remittances to Nepal. With a view to long-term development implications of international migration it also considers the gain of knowledge and access to international academic networks brought into the country by returned scholars. The editor of the volume, Béatrice Knerr, is a professor of development economics, affiliated to the University of Kassel, Germany, where, until 2015, she was heading the Department of Development Economics, Migration and Agricultural Policy (DEMAP). Afterwards she has served as guest professor at the Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan (UADY) in Merida, Mexico, and at the College of Economics of Hue University, Vietnam. Presently she is on contract with the Brawijaya University of Malang, Indonesia, where she is joining research projects on rural development and teaching various modules in the Economics Faculty. As an expert in the implications of labour migration on the development of low- to middle-income countries she has published and edited around 30 books and 100 journal articles and book chapters.

This book was released on 1995-11-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book on women by women has attempted to question the basic formulation of theoretical constructs in the area of migration as they have failed to capture situations elaborated in the book. The book is based on extensive field work and on observed realities. It has successfully highlighted the major problems women hgave to face under distress conditions.... It is a welcom addition to the existing literature on studies bearing on migration, women's studies and poverty reduction strategies." --Deccan Herald "This extremely well-researched volume concentrates on the migration patterns and transformation processes in differing socio-economic, cultural and ecological circumstances.... This book asserts that development also means that women's autonomy also is an important facet in policy-making. It calls for a rethink at all levels.... The book provides ample material on the socio-economic consequences of the eroding family structures from the standpoint of female migration.... Policy-planners and development theorists would do well to put this scholarship on the board white framing strategies. Thereby not just the industry concerned will get more value for its money, but it will also further enthuse the labour.... This book may be having forerunners on similar lines, but the focus it provides on gender identification is distinct and altogther thought provoking." --Business Line "The authors have in deft detail investigated the level of poverty and the perennial struggle for survival, which force woment to move in search of work either with their families or, in some cases, on their own.... The book raises several vital questions: to what extent does poverty force these women to migrate? Is not lack of employment opportunity within their own state an equally compelling reason? Is migration merely a survival strategy or is it to satisfy new desires and demands?" --The Tribune How does seasonal labor migration affect rural Indian society? Why have past studies on seasonal migration been male-centered? In this important volume, contributors examine these and other questions as they relate to four Indian states--Orissa, Kerala, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. After a concise overview on migration studies, three case studies are presented that typify crucial transformation processes related to different socioeconomic, cultural, ecological, and livelihood systems: the forest, the sea, and the land. These case studies also explore different categories of women involved in the migration process: married, unmarried, abandoned, and tribal women staying behind while men migrate. The picture that emerges from the case studies presented is grim, demonstrating that the economic gains are minimal and the status of women sees little improvement. An major contribution to the literature on migration patterns, Women and Seasonal Labour Migration will be of interest to students and scholars in development studies, gender studies, economics, and sociology.

Download or read book Social Networks and Migration written by Susan Thieme and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2006 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Far West Nepal - an area extremely impoverished also by Nepalese standards - labour migration to India has been an integral part of the livelihood strategies of the majority of people for several generations. This research is based on case studies among male and female migrants in Delhi coming from four villages of Far West Nepal. The analysis focuses on selected aspects of the migrants' daily lives, such as working and living conditions, management of loans and savings, and remittance transfer. It was found, that the whole migration process is mainly facilitated by transnational kin and friendship networks. To grasp the geographical and social dimensions of the migrant's lives an integrative approach in joining the sustainable livelihoods approach, Bourdieu's theory of practice, the concept of social capital and the concept of transnational migration was developed. Further results show, that the majority of the migrants are male. The unskilled migrants occupy a distinct niche, in which men have been working as watchmen and car cleaners for generations. The job market is highly organized since jobs are handed over and sold within networks. If wives of migrants are in Delhi for longer periods, they engage in housekeeping. For financial needs migrants established their own informal savings and credit associations. Although migration is firstly seen as an opportunity by the migrants, it can as well perpetuate debt and dependency and entail that they remain migrants for their whole lives.

This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration for work is an important livelihood option for many households in Tajikistan due to limited job opportunities. Remittances from migrant workers significantly supplement the country’s foreign currency reserves, but the economic crisis and worldwide shutdown induced by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have caused international migration flows to fall, and remittances are projected to decline significantly. This publication reviews the state of international migration out of Tajikistan and identifies the impact of COVID-19 on the movement of people and migrant workers, in particular. It also reviews international best practices and proposes appropriate predeparture programs, post-return services for Tajik migrants, and ways to address migrate worker issues related to the pandemic.
