关于尼泊尔移徙问题的研究主要侧重于一般移徙的原因。虽然有几项研究审查了移徙者收到或发出的汇款，但几乎没有资料说明按移徙者目的地分列的家庭收到的汇款的差异。因此，本探索性研究试图回答：家庭收到汇款的程度是否因移民目的地而异？使用2013年从尼泊尔西部奇旺谷收集的数据，多变量分析的结果显示，控制网，无论是接收（家庭是否收到任何汇款）还是家庭收到的汇款金额，都因移民目的地而异。有证据表明，与在尼泊尔工作的移徙者相比，在印度（一个低收入国家）工作的移徙者向家庭汇款的可能性更小。另一方面，与在尼泊尔境内但在奇旺境外工作的国内移徙者相比，家庭从在高收入潜力国家（如中东、东亚或东南亚、美洲、澳大利亚和欧洲）工作的移徙者收到的汇款数额要多得多。根据其他因素调整后，在东亚或东南亚国家（如韩国、马来西亚、日本）工作的移民收到的汇款数额最大，其次是在美国、澳大利亚、欧洲和中东工作的移民。从这个探索性的研究中获得的见解进行了讨论。
Studies on migration in Nepal primarily focused on the causes of migration, in general. While a few studies examined the remittances received or sent by migrants, there is little information about the variation in remittances received by households by migrant's destination. Thus, this exploratory study attempts to answer: Does the extent to which households receive remittances vary by migrant's destination? Using the data collected in 2013 from the western Chitwan Valley of Nepal, the findings from multivariate analysis reveal that net of controls, both the receipt (whether a household received any remittance or not) as well as the amount of remittances received by a household varied by migrant's destination. Evidence suggests that households are less likely to receive remittances from migrants working in India (a country of low earning potential) as compared to those working in Nepal. On the other hand, households received significantly more amount of remittances from migrants working in countries with high earning potentials (such as Middle East, East or South East Asia, and America, Australia and Europe) as compared to the domestic migrants who were working inside of Nepal but outside of Chitwan. Adjusting for other factors, the largest amount of remittances was received from migrants working in the East or South East Asian countries (e.g. South Korea, Malaysia, Japan) followed by those in America, Australia, and Europe and the Middle East. The insights gained from this exploratory study are discussed.
