Foreign employment is a burning issue for developing countries like Nepal. Nearly thousand Nepalese depart forforeign employment everyday. This paper is focused on exploring the reasons of foreign employment. Both primaryand secondary facts are used in this paper. Primary facts are collected through the case study and observationmethod. The purposive sampling method is used to select the cases. The cases are located in the Pokharametropolitan city of Nepal. Most people have gone abroad after marriage because of the financial burden and theresponsibility of earning money. Lack of cash, superstition, traditional beliefs, political and family conflicts,inter-caste marriages, and family structure have led to foreign employment. Most people go for foreign employmentwithout skills, and they work in construction, sanitation and, they get paid less and return home without skills.These facts are partially congruent to the theoretical explanation of Wallerstein.
