Experts Discuss Labor, Foreign Employment, and Social Security in Upcoming Elections
Summary
Political parties are preparing manifestos addressing labor, foreign employment, and social security amid Nepal's high youth migration for jobs abroad and domestic employment challenges.
Key Points
- Approximately 7 million Nepalis are working abroad, driven by lack of local employment and political instability.
- Foreign employment remains a necessity due to insufficient domestic job opportunities and market challenges.
- Nepali workers abroad are valued for honesty and hard work, and their earnings have increased over the last two decades.
- Domestic employment suffers due to political instability, lack of skills training, and employers' preference for foreign workers over Nepalis.
