Research on the Interlinkages Between Child Marriage and Migration for Employment in Nepal (Both Foreign Labour Migration and Cross-Border Migration)

This study will identify the incidents and prevalence (patterns, trends and correlations) of child marriage among young migrant workers and migrant populations. It also investigates the relationship between labour migration and child marriage, together with their association across different socio-economic groups, castes, ages, genders, ethnicities and geographies. Furthermore, it will also examine legal and policy gaps and provide evidence-based recommendations for addressing drivers and vulnerabilities of child marriage. The study is conducted across four provinces of Nepal—Madhesh, Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpaschim.
