Nepal a land locked country is suffering from various unemployment issues. In 2020, the unemployment rate in Nepal was around 4.44 percent.[1] One of the biggest challenges regarding employment in Nepal, is the quality and condition of the employment. Most job opportunities in Nepal have a poor and low-grade work environment. Most of the available jobs in Nepal, are considered as undesirable by the Nepalese youth as the majority of these jobs requires to put in long hours of work for a very little and insufficient amount of salary.
Many Nepalese youth views that the majority of work found in Nepal, are simply not worth their time and efforts, as they don’t want to work in a high stress work environment for an insufficient amount of salary which can barely sustain the expenditures of one person. Due to this unfair ratio of putting in high efforts and gaining very little salary in return, most of the youth simply decides to remain unemployed until they can find a well-paying job which can sustain the expenses of both themselves and their families.
We can also see a rising trend in Nepal, where due to insufficient salary the employed Nepalese people are deciding to leave their job in search of a better paying job or are also working a second part time job to sustain their economic needs. Due to the lack of job opportunities and insufficient salary many Nepalese youth have decided to seek employment in foreign nation such as the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) nations.[2] Due to which remittance is a major income source in Nepal and in the last fiscal year of 2020-2021 Nepali migrant workers sent home Rs 961.05 billion.[3] [4]
Another major reason why there is an unemployment problem in Nepal is the fact the Nepalese society stigmatizes jobs which are perceived to be low standard, jobs which require manual labor or blue collar jobs such as Construction workers, machine operator, plumber, mechanics, and technicians are considered less desired by the Nepalese youth. Even if such blue collar jobs may have more pay and flexible work time, Nepalese youth tend to avoid blue collar jobs as much as they can. In Nepal youth avoid blue collar jobs as they fear that engaging in these professions would lead to a decline in their social status in the Nepalese society. However, there are a lot of scope and profit which can be found in the blue collar job sector of Nepal.
As there is very little supply of well-trained professionals in the blue collar job sector in Nepal, there is a very high demand for Nepalese youth who want to work in the technical and mechanical sector. Nepalese youth who are in these sectors tend to earn sufficient amount of income to sustain themselves and their families. Technical professions are one of the most important foundations for a society to function properly. So there will always be a high demand for people who want to work in this field.
In Nepal, technical courses are one of the best options for the Nepalese youth to engage in. Technical courses are usually cheap and affordable and anyone can enroll in these courses without any pre requisites. Another advantage of technical courses is the fact that anyone can get a diploma in their respective field within a few months of enrolling in these courses. Also, people can directly start working after they receive their diploma and the pay in these professions are well sufficient.
So instead of going to foreign nation in order to find work, Nepalese youth should work in the technical field in Nepal, as there is an abundance of work opportunities and the pay is good and lucrative. Furthermore if the Nepalese youth decide to works in Nepal, on these technical sectors it will improve the ratio of skilled manpower and will also prevent the brain drain in Nepal.
