This book offers a fresh perspective on gender debates in Nepal and
analyses how the international migration of the first generation of
professional female Nepali nurses has been a catalyst for social
change. With unprecedented access to study participants in Nepal
(the source country), following them and their networks in the UK
(the destination country), this ethnographic study explores Nepali
nurses' migration journeys, relocation experiences, and their
international migration 'dreams' and aspirations. It illustrates
how migrant nurses strive to manage social and professional
difficulties as they work towards achieving their ultimate
migration aims. The book shows that nursing shortages and
international nurse migration are isseus of gender, on a global
scale, and that the current trend of privatisation in health
systems makes the labour market vulnerable, and stimulates
international migration of health professionals. Arguing that
international nurse migration is an integral part of the
globalisation of health, the author highlights key policy
strategies that are useful for global nursing and health workforce
management. A well-informed and much-needed study of nurse
migration in the global healthcare market, this book will be of
interest to professionals and academics working in nursing studies,
health and social care studies, gender and international migration
studies, and global health studies, as well as South Asian studies.
