Description
International migration of Nepali youth has been on a rise alongside the population share of older Nepali adults. This mixed-methods study involving older Nepali parents of migrant and non-migrant children explored how adult children's emigration affects left-behind parents. Outcomes were assessed using quality of life, nutritional status, and psychosocial effects. Quantitative analyses showed children's migration alone did not significantly affect the first two outcomes, but several sociodemographic factors did. Qualitative synthesis showed that parents of migrant children longed for the children's presence in their lives, especially in their final days, but were uncertain of that ever being a reality.
Impact and interest:
