Four months after the devastating April 25 earthquake in Nepal, the delayed return of migrant family members, coupled with low levels of disaster-preparedness, has become a major concern for Nepal`s households with external migrants, reports Zee News.
Sijapati, Research Director at the Centre for the Study of Labour and Mobility (CESLAM), noted that the condition of "migrant households is as precarious, if not more" than the average household post the temblor.
Further, referring to a recent study, she said low levels of disaster preparedness amongst migrant households (as well as non-migrant households) are an indication that simply having an inflow of cash is not sufficient.
