“…Temporary and seasonal migrations are quite prominent in developing countries where it plays a crucial role in household survival, especially in rural areas (Shah, 2021). Lean seasons can occur as a result of agricultural downturns, and seasonal or temporary migration is an important coping strategy for a large number of poor rural households in developing countries (Shonchoy, 2015).…”

“…Children who migrate with their parents or remain in the source village without one or both parents, face hindrances to educational progress (Shah, 2021). Mckenzie and Rapoport (2006) mention that family migration depresses educational attainment affecting school attendance and completing fewer total years of schooling than children in non-migrant households because they need to work in the household work or are not valuing education due to future migration plans.…”

This article focuses on the effect of parental migration on the care and educational performance of left-behind children of migrant families. This ethnographic study was conducted among the Kham people in Kankri, Rukum East district of the western mid-hill region of rural Nepal. Information was collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and living in the community in their setting. Income from parental labor migration provided families with food, clothing, access to basic health services, and investment in their children’s education. Left-behind children lacked parental care with proper guidance and emotional support, so they started taking alcohol, Charash (marijuana resin), and showing violent behavior. Children from migrant households have school absences and poorer educational performance as they are required to help with household work and lack guided learning at home. Children lose interest in studying, and those who miss upper-class admission because of seasonal migration drop out of school and join the migration. Parents select private or government schools for their children depending on remittance, quality of education, network availability, and future opportunities. Parents who had hardships during their migration are determined to educate their children in school, but they do not provide equal educational opportunities for boys and girls. Seasonal migrant workers anticipate that their children will engage in seasonal work during school breaks so that they can contribute to their schooling costs.
