“…Over time, the positive impact of remittances on household livelihood security has steadily improved, supported by relatively broad confidence ranges. This improvement is evident in the substantial increase of 13.6% in livelihood security for migrant-sending households and a noteworthy enhancement of 10.99% for the overall population (Agza et al, 2023). Further, Agza et al (2023) highlighted that household livelihood security exhibited an even greater improvement when higher levels of remittances were received, showcasing a significant 40% local minimum dose effect.…”

The major portion of the Nepalese economy is based on agriculture. The country’s rural areas are home to almost 80% of the inhabitants, who are engaged in agriculture. People are compelled or forced to migrate due to a variety of reasons including poverty, desperation, unfair resource distribution, and a lack of opportunity. This study’s major goal is to determine how remittances affect the socio-economic aspects of households both before and after they receive remittances. The Bhadaure, Tamagi village at Ward number 4 of the Annapurna Rural Municipality is the place where the current study was carried out. Only 50 respondents out of 200 migrants working abroad were chosen at random as a sample of the study. The research method was a case study design, the quantitative data were collected using structured questionnaire where SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. The objective of the study was to identify the impacts of remittances on the expenditure of migrant households and compare the position of remittance holders before and after receiving remittances. The findings of the study highlight the positive impact of remittance on the living standards of households. Many households were able to construct RCC buildings and buy land in which they were previously unable to construct due to financial constraints. There was also an improvement in household assets, electronic goods, and services after receiving remittances. Moreover, the results show that the health conditions of households had improved after receiving remittances. The findings indicate that remittance has a significant impact on the socioeconomic development of the study area, contributing to the improvement of the living standards and well-being of the households. Despite this, the government must ensure protection against labor exploitation and formulate appropriate policies for Nepalese laborers.

“…Furthermore, rural-urban migration, driven by factors such as alterations in farming techniques, limited employment prospects, and unfavorable economic circumstances, has resulted in significant challenges for both urban and rural regions. Rural areas have experienced demographic changes due to migration, leading to a growing elderly population, diminished human resources, the decline of villages, and the erosion of cultural legacies [2]. As a representative case, China has made significant progress in urbanization and poverty reduction, as observed by the global community [3].…”

Achieving sustainable rural development is challenging. However, revitalizing the rural economy is one of the most suitable strategies to overcome sustainable development problems. The rural revitalization strategy aims to create an idealized sustainable development model for rural areas which can avoid the current crisis and utilize institutional advantages to overcome the survival challenges of mostly small-scale peasant economies. The logic of the rural revitalization strategy lies in its essential value implication and practical orientation for consolidating the foundation in rural areas, including its characteristics and its ability to realize long-term sustainable development. There is growing interest in research on rural revitalization and sustainable development, but the current status, trends, and progress are unknown. This study examines the most recent advancements in research patterns for rural revitalization and the promotion of sustainable development from 1995 to 2023. It accomplishes this by thoroughly evaluating and analyzing published scholarly material. We performed a bibliometric analysis of the literature obtained from the Scopus database using VOS Viewer software version 1.6.15. We examined a total of 403 articles and evaluated them, focusing on the precise terms “Rural Revitalization” and “Sustainable Development”. We found that post-2018, there has been a notable surge in the popularity and acceptance of research related to these topics. China ranks first in terms of publishing the greatest number of research articles. The journal Sustainability has published the most articles on sustainable development and rural revitalization, followed by Land and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The Journal of Rural Studies published the most cited document. Exciting research areas include the conservation of natural resources, ecosystem cities, and rural revitalization strategies. The research findings thoroughly evaluate academic output and propose thematic areas for further investigation.

This study aims to investigate the impact of internal migration on household wellbeing, measured using a multidimensional wellbeing index (MWI). Utilizing the Alkire–Foster methodology, we conceptualize MWI to encompass the following five broad dimensions: education, health, income and employment, standard of living, and inclusion. The study is based on household‐level primary data collected from the Indian state of Jharkhand using a multistage stratified sampling method. Data were analyzed using probit regression with MWI as a dependent variable. Our findings suggest that (i) internal migration has a positive association with households' wellbeing and (ii) the inflow of remittances significantly contributes to increasing the total household income of migrant families, which positively impacts household wellbeing.
