Question

In case of Nepal why is the immigration increase day by day?give examples

Answer 1

In Nepal, the historical evidence shows that migration to the terai increased after the eradication of malaria in the late 1950s and has been increasing ever since. Focus group discussions and household survey were used for data collection. The paper presents three types of population flows in the historical pattern.

First, the history of Nepal as an arena of population movement;

second, the gradual opening up of the terai, leading to the hills-terai movement; and the

third, the current outward flow as an individual migration for work. The paper exemplifies that poverty and lack of arable land are not the only push factors, but that pursuing a better quality of life is gaining importance as a migration motive.
