Numerous factors are impeding the development of Nepal’s youth, including shortage of employment opportunities—as a result of which overseas migration and brain-drain has increased, with its own repercussions: limited participation in political processes, involvement in illicit activities, vulnerability to climate change, and multiple forms of discrimination. Unemployment rates are higher for young people than for the whole of the Nepali population. The
unemployment rate for those aged 15–29 is 19.2 percent. Young women also fare worse than men regarding their employment ratio (33.4 and 42.8 percent, respectively) and their labour force participation rate (43.0 and 51.7 percent, respectively).
