This chapter illustrates how the notion of co-residence, headship and resource management of a household have been modified by the phenomenon of labour out-migration in Nepal. The concept of household is largely used in the studies of home economics, resource management, livelihood and family care. In general, a household is a unit formed by family members or a combination of family and non-family members, with roots in the institution of marriage. Traditionally, the household is considered a co-residential unit, with a household head, and taking care of the day-to-day resource management and primary needs of its members. However, the notions of family-based unit, co-residence and management of resources by a functional household head are challenged by various living arrangements, livelihood opportunities and changing modes of production that are caused by the phenomenon of labour out-migration in the recent times. Based on survey, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions carried out in a village in eastern Nepal, this chapter argues that households are not restricted to the conventional boundary of living-together. Like resident members, the non-resident members also have a great influence in household resource management and can even act as a household head at a distance, thus modifying the meaning of ‘household’. We perhaps need to understand it as ‘modified-extended-household’ where a household acts as an arena of resident and non-resident members who are engaged in continuous interaction and communication for the wellbeing of its members.
