The domestic economy of Nepal is currently being controlled and balanced by remittance. Hundreds of people are leaving their homes in Nepal to pursue their dreams, money, and happiness abroad. The immigration wave each year is increasing but instead of returning with economic prosperity, the immigrants are coming back to Nepal in coffins because of bad working conditions. International immigration has become a worldwide concern.
The pursuit of a better life often ends tragically for entire families. Should they continue their pursuit or stay? Should people continue living in bad conditions in their own countries or die as slaves abroad?
