Recent trends across the world indicate that productive employment is one of the main conduits for sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction.In general, it is believed that productive employment,in addition to reducing unemployment,also enhances the income-earning capabilities of people, leading ultimately to a reduction in poverty. Notwithstanding these trends, what is also apparent in the growth employment- poverty nexus is that patterns of economic growth as well as the quantity and quality of employment are crucial in influencing the employment. As a result, policymakers across the world have increasingly been projecting full and productive employment and decent work for all as a top policy agenda as well as a development strategy.In the current context of Nepal, too, the need for employment-centric growth for accelerated economic development and poverty reduction has taken on heightened significance. This is particularly so since the country is undergoing important demographic shifts; structural transformation of the economy; cycles of political instability, poverty and economic stagnation; and problems of unemployment and underemployment, which have together led to, among others, the mass exodus of the Nepali productive workforce out of the country. To address these concerns, the government has made employment a central goal in the overarching national policy framework as well as in the economic and social policies of the country.
