“…In Nepal, where the rural-urban migration figure stood at 2.6 million in 2011 (KC 2003), migration is seen as the gateway allowing individuals access to resources and opportunities that cannot be found in their own communities. Rural youth who aspire education beyond secondary school are compelled to migrate to the city (Luintel 2015). The capital Kathmandu-home to 980,000 inhabitants (Central Bureau of Statistics 2020)-has the highest number of migrants (Luintel 2015).…”

“…Rural youth who aspire education beyond secondary school are compelled to migrate to the city (Luintel 2015). The capital Kathmandu-home to 980,000 inhabitants (Central Bureau of Statistics 2020)-has the highest number of migrants (Luintel 2015). A World Bank (2016) report revealed that young people (aged 15-40) make up 40% of the total Nepali population and a few years earlier, in 2011, the Census Bureau of Statistics recorded Kathmandu as having the highest youth population nationwide-some 52.9% (KC 2003).…”

“…Nepal's capital city is viewed as an interesting and vital research site because of the rapid social, economic, political, and cultural changes that it has undergone over the last few decades. In addition, the youth population there is made up of migrants from across the country who came to the capital in search of work and/or for higher education (Luintel 2015). Research participants were thus from diverse backgrounds, and their varying motivations and experiences allow for a rich exploration of transition patterns regarding access to education, resources, and the labour market, drawing on qualitative longitudinal data obtained over a 12-month period from April 2018 to March 2019 from twenty-four young people.…”

This article examines the experiences of youth transitioning from education to work, within the specific context of rural–urban migration in Nepal. This context is chosen as, compared to developed countries, experiences in developing ones have remained under-researched in the transition studies literature. The study is informed by a biographical research approach, using qualitative longitudinal life (hi)story methods, with a view to revealing local transition patterns and the life events influencing these. The study identifies four different patterns reflecting the education-to-work transitions of young rural–urban migrants in Nepal. These patterns encompass different pathways involving education, migration, work, and mandatory waiting periods. The analysis of these transition patterns highlights how migration for education and work from rural to urban settings, taken together with mandatory waiting periods, exerts key influence on the overall life trajectories of young rural–urban migrants in Nepal’s capital.

Majhis have coped with marginal resources in the Neoliberal economic context and are facing many problems. This article focuses on the Majhi people and their livelihood transformation from traditional occupation. The main objectives of this study are to explore the present condition of the Majhi people in Baglung and how they got into their traditional profession. This study adopts qualitative data based on observations, case studies, and in-depth interviews through primary and secondary sources of literature review. Majhi people have coped with marginal resources in the Neoliberal economic context and facing many problems. They usually change their traditional occupations to boating, selling firewood, gold mining, and fishing. There are forced to change their livelihoods due to globalization. Modern means of transportation and limited income are insufficient to fulfill their basic needs. They face social, economic, and physical difficulties in their daily lives. Globalization and modern modes of transportation present them with more challenges and fewer opportunities because of the construction of the Pokhara-Baglung highway. Majhi people have not been able to easily grasp opportunities for political, social, and educational changes due to a lack of education after abandoning their traditional occupation and living place due to the construction of Pokhara- Baglung highway. This paper will be valuable for policy maker and, future researchers, and academia as well.
