| Summary: | The dramatic incensement in mobility indicates that youth are the most mobile population who migrate globally for various purposes. The youth in Nepal are not exceptional as hundreds of thousand youth migrate for foreign employment especially in different Gulf countries and Malaysia every year. Although the causes of youth mobility in Nepal vividly explored, there is common understanding among the scholars about the long established youth culture of foreign migration for employment. The foreign employment has significant contribution in national gross domestic product however the youth who are the economic contributors experience various vulnerabilities and even lose their life while they are abroad. Regardless of difficulties in the foreign land, youth often glorify their experiences and inspire many others aspirants. In this context, this study explores experiences of foreign migrant workers and their perception about abroad work. Case studies were conducted amongst new aspirants and returnees who want to repeat foreign employment. This study reveals that youth, generally, prefer to glorify their abroad work experience rather than telling the truth. The migrant workers secure their position as a successor in the community by doing so. However, the overvalued experiences help aspire new one who see solution only in abroad for an illusionary successful life. |
