The present study on "Migration of Working Children in Nepal " is carried as a part of the national level study on Migration and Employment Survey, 1996 conducted by the Central Department of Population Studies. The study is especially carried out by cross-matching the separate data file created for Migration and Employment Survey. The first chapter of the report is broadly a background and the context of the study including the methodology employed for the larger survey. Mr. Keshab Prasad Adhikari largely contributed to preparing this chapter. The second chapter includes migrant characteristics of children 5-17 years of age. Mr. Yogendra Bahadur Gurung was able to put this chapter together on the basis of his previous experience for preparing the main report on in-and out-migration. The third chapter is mainly the contribution of Mr. Bhim Raj Suwal who had gained substantial experience in preparing the Child Labour Situation in Nepal submitted previously to ILO Office. They all deserve special thanks. I am grateful to Mr. Dhanendra Veer Shakya for processing the entire document. I am highly indebted to Mr. Ashagrie of ILO headquarter, Geneva, who has been instrumental in initiating and supporting the conduct of this study. Mr. Hirak Ghosh, Sub
