Abstract
The vulnerability of temporary migrant workers became dramatically visible during the global pandemic as an unprecedented number were forced to return to their home countries. This research uses the case of Nepal, a highly remittance-dependent economy (remittances accounting 27% of the GDP) to study the consequences of the large-scale return of migrant workers to their home countries post-pandemic.
Dr. Shivakoti will present research findings based on primary data collected from 150 pandemic returnee migrant workers from various destinations (the Gulf countries, Malaysia and India) to Nepal with 4 sets of semi-structured interviews over a 2-year period. She will present findings on the crisis return, challenges and the aspirations and capabilities of migrant workers post return.
