Contemporary Environmental Problems in Nepal
Migration decisions and destination choices
We used data collected from a face-to-face interview survey of 395 randomly selected farm households in Central Nepal’s Chitwan district to understand the migration decision-making processes and migration destination choices. This district was chosen because it represents the microcosm of whole Nepal due to the presence of migratory population from all over the country within the tropical and sub-tropical climatic districts. We used probit and mu…

International migration has increased rapidly in recent decades and this has been accompanied by a remarkable increase in transfers made by migrants to their home countries.

The authors assemble a unique village-panel dataset combining remote sensing data on land use and forest cover change with data from the ce…
