At today’s Centre for Wellbeing and Long-Term Health (CWLTH) Research Seminar, Yagya Adhikari, a PhD student supervised by Professor Edwin van Teijlingen and Dr Pramod Regmi, presented part of his doctoral research focusing on ‘Parental migration for work and psychosocial problems among left-behind adolescents in Nepal‘. Yagya is part of the CWLTH’s Marginalised Groups Workstream and will be submitting his thesis later in 2025.
An astonishing 2,000 people leave Nepal everyday to work overseas and it has long been known that this has an impact on the families left-behind. Yagya’s research explores a new dimension by focusing on the experiences of the left-behind adolescents. The findings Yagya presented today demonstrate that left-behind adolescent boys and girls have poorer results on measures of psychosocial well-being when compared to similarly aged adolescents not left behind by a parent. Yagya’s research has genuine potential to have a positive impact in Nepal.
