The contribution of trade in services and associated remittances to the economies of developing countries is increasingly being recognized and the liberalization of the movement of natural persons (Mode 4 trade under GATS) is seen by many as an effective to ensure developing countries benefit from globalization. In that context, this study aimed at assessing the impact of remittances by women migrant workers on poverty reduction in Nepal. The specific objectives were to investigate the financial aspects, explore the human factors, and examine women migrant workers perceptions and preferences of national policy. The study was conducted in two remittance-based towns in eastern and western development regions of Nepal. The sample size was 421, comprising 247 returnee migrants and 174 household members. Data were collected through survey questionnaires, focus group discussions and case studies.
