Post on24 Dec 2024
Funding Agency : Yale University
The research project involves implementing a mentorship programme in 125 villages in Kailali and Kanchanpur districts to help current and potential migrant workers build social networks to find (better) jobs in various locations in India and Nepal. The study seeks to enrol up to 2000 potential migrants (mentees) and 500 experienced migrants (mentors) across the study villages and help them connect based on their migration plans and preferences. The study also includes follow-ups to assess the success of the mentorship and re-match if needed and surveys to collect data on migration behaviour of mentors and mentees.
