In today’s increasingly globalized and interconnected world in which more people migrate,young migrants have become powerful agents of positive change and development. In Nepal,overseas migration from all parts of the country has been rising steadily in recent years. An estimated 400,000 young people enter the labor market each year and,in the absence of quality employment opportunities within the country particularly in rural areas, migration to India and overseas for employment has become an increasingly attractive option for many youth.In Nepal,the Department of Foreign Employment estimated that around 1,500 young Nepalese leave for employment to countries other than India each day.The total number that has received formal approval to leave is 2.08 million. The Ministry of Labor and Transport Management also estimates that a similar number have gone overseas for employment through informal channels.
