The analysis revealed that only two types of spending – outlays on primary education and allocations to child health within Essential Package of Services – are strongly pro-poor.While overall GoB subsidies to education and health were not pro-poor per se, they were more equitably distributed than private spending in these two sectors. Further, these subsidies reduce overall inequality in the income distribution, as they were found to be more equally distributed across the population as compared to overall private expenditures.

We begin with a brief assessment of LTC needs on the demand side, followed by a supply side assessment of the available mix of formal LTC services vis‐à‐vis informal care provision. Next, we describe and discuss the role of government policies in LTC provision and governance. We conclude by discussing and offering practical LTC policy considerations for LMICs, drawing on experiences, best practices and lessons learned from high‐income countries.

We apply an instrumental variable approach to deal with nonrandom selection of migrants and simulate various scenarios for the different levels of work-related migration, comparing observed and counterfactual household expenditure distribution. Our results indicate that one-fifth of the poverty reduction in Nepal occurring between 1995 and 2004 can be attributed to higher levels of work-related migration and remittances sent home. We also show that while the increase in international work-related migration was the leading cause of this poverty reduction, domestic migration also played an important role. Our findings demonstrate that strategies for economic growth and poverty reduction in Nepal should consider aspects of the dynamics of domestic and international migration.

The instrumental variable full information maximum likelihood method is applied to data from the 2004 Nepal Household Survey to account for unobserved factors that could simultaneously affect men's decision to migrate and women's decision to participate in the labor market. The results indicate that male migration has a negative impact on the level of the labor market participation by women in the migrant-sending household. There is evidence of substantial heterogeneity (based on both observable and unobservable characteristics) in the impact of male migration. The findings highlight the important gender dimension of the impact of predominantly male migration on the well-being of sending households. Strategies for economic development in Nepal should take into account such gender aspects of the migration dynamics. JEL codes: O15, J21 A sharp increase in migration worldwide has fueled debate on the costs and benefits of international migration for sending communities (UNDP 2002). Remittances are considered a key means through which migration affects economic growth. Most microeconomic studies of migration and remittances focus on their role in reducing poverty and economic inequality. The impact of migration on the economic behavior of nonmigrating household members receives relatively little attention (Kanaiaupuni 2000). Most research on the issue is sociological and demographic and finds that women spend more time working on home farms at least in part because of male migration (Crummet 1987; Deere and Leon de Leal 1987). Among the few economic studies of the labor market outcomes of members of households sending migrants, Funkhouser (1992) examines the effects of migration and remittances on the female labor market participation in Nicaragua.

To obtain robust estimates of the wage differential, we apply three econometric techniques each relying on a different set of assumptions about the process of job selection. All three methods show that differences in wages between public sector workers and workers in the formal-private and informal-casual sectors are positive and high. Estimates show that, on average, the public sector premium ranges between 62% and 102% over the private-formal sector, and between 164% and 259% over the informal-casual sector, depending on the choice of methodology. Our review of wage differentials (estimated using similar methodologies) across the world shows that India has one of the largest differentials between wages of public workers and workers in the formal private sector. The wage differentials in India tend to be higher in rural as compared to urban areas, and are higher among women than among men. The wage differential also tends to be higher for low-skilled workers. There is considerable

This work built up on the longstanding engagement between the World Bank and GoUP in the area of household survey data collection and analysis. In 1999, the Bank helped establish a Poverty and Social Monitoring System (PSMS) within the DES to enhance the latter's statistical capacity and poverty diagnostics. By March 2006, computerization of the DES's district offices was complete to help speed-up timely data processing, and much of the data entry work was devolved to the districts offices. The PSMS collected two additional poverty-focused multipurpose surveys (called PSMS-I and II) and two statistical reports have resulted from an analyses of these data. A series of workshops took place in Lucknow to discuss the PSMS reports and the concept note for this report. In November 2007, the Giri Institute and the World Bank co-hosted a consultatitive workshop chaired by Mr. V. Venkatachalam, Principal Secretary, Planning Department, GoUP to receive feedback on the early findings that emerged from the analysis conducted in the course of work on this report. A number of government officials and academics also participated and valuable contributions were made, especially by Mr. T.
