International migration is considered as a livelihood in Nepal, as millions
of families depend majorly on the remittances sent back by their families
abroad. Such circumstances have led many studies and researchers to determine poverty as the main driver of Nepalese emigration. However, the
following empirical study suggests long working hours and job dissatisfaction in the country to drive a stronger motivation for Nepalese to flee
under any circumstances for foreign employment. Given that unemployed
and poorly educated population emigrate for remittance, the working
population on the other hand are also motivated to internationally migrate
due to discontentment in their working environment. The study shows
statistical proof on the strong relationship between long working hours,
job dissatisfaction and emigration intention of the Nepalese.
