The
first wave of Nepalese immigration began in the late 1980s. After Nepal
restored its democracy in the 1990s, labour laws were changed to allow
Nepalese youths to go abroad in search of work. The Nepalese community
in South Korea thus consists primarily of migrant workers, but also has
large numbers of students as well as Nepalese women married to South
Korean men they met through international matchmaking agencies. The
Nepali government are attempting to induce Nepali workers staying
illegally in South Korea (roughly 2,500 as of 2010) to return home, in
hopes that the South Korean government will increase its intake of
Nepali workers in future years.
