This study examines the impact of inflation rate, remittance income, and public borrowing on the government's annual expenditure. This study is based on the descriptive and exploratory research design. It follows the positivist research philosophy and quantitative characteristics. It uses secondary data collected from various economic surveys in Nepal and reports from the World Bank. It covers 33 data points from 1990 to 2022. Simple statistical and econometric tools like descriptive statistics, robust regression analysis, Normality test, and confidence interval test are used in this study. The inflation rate, public borrowing, and remittance income are responsible for increasing Nepal's government expenditure. The inflation rate is not individually significant in determining the spending in Nepal. Remittance income has a considerable positive impact on total expenditure in Nepal. One unit increase in remittance income results in a 0.109648 unit increase in government expenditure in Nepal. Likewise, public borrowing is highly significant in explaining government expenditure. One unit increase in public borrowing results in a 1.145037 unit increase in government expenditure in Nepal. Nearly 73.69 percent variation in total government expenditure depends on Nepal's inflation rate, remittance income, and public borrowing. Policymakers in Nepal should focus on bolstering remittance inflows and implementing prudent public borrowing management strategies to foster sustainable economic growth while recognizing the limited influence of the inflation rate on government expenditure.

“…Migrant remittances to Poland have been found to reduce income inequality and poverty rates, but not as effectively as welfare transfers (Giannetti et al, 2009); while remittances can serve a social protection function, being a private measure, they tend to substitute rather than complement public provision (Mina, 2019). Privileging or relying on the market renders the realisation of social citizenship uncertain for those excluded from adequate local employment, state provision or labour mobility, whether in Poland or Ukraine.…”

Labour mobility in transnational Europe: between depletion, mitigation and citizenship entitlements harm

This article examines how transnational labour mobility in uneven and combined Europe has emerged as a critical response to the problems of capitalist production and social reproduction. Analysing the interconnected mobilities of labour between Ukraine, Poland and the UK in the food production, care provision and housing construction sectors, the article examines how states benefit from lower unemployment and reduced labour shortages, employers profit from qualified and reliable workers, and households gain access to jobs and incomes. It argues that transnational labour mobility is constitutive of the inherently interdependent production–reproduction processes. In this constellation, transnational labour mobility becomes a form of mitigation of depletion through social reproduction. However, it further argues that such a mitigation strategy is unbalanced and unsustainable as its costs and benefits are unequally distributed, forestalling resource inflows that could attenuate outflows. Therefore, harms – in particular, the harm to citizenship entitlements – emerge despite labour mobility mitigating depletion.
