From January to March 1974 the Asian Regional Team for Employment Promotion (ARTEP) undertook a country survey in Nepal with the aim of indicating a development strategy which would lead to higher income while avoiding high income inequality and frictions in the labour market. ARTEP is a multidisciplinary team of experts financed by UNDP. The team's assignment is to assist Governments in the region in the formulation and implementation of national employment policies and programmes in their countries and in building up the technical and administrative services required for the effective implementatipn of short and long term employment promotion projects. In Nepal data on the rural economy at household level are limited. A farm management study (EMS) was undertaken in 1968-69,by the Economic:Analysis and Planning Division of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The study yielded a lot of valuable data on crop production and agricultural inputs at household level in 14 selected districts. However, it did not cover income data from livestock enterprise, nor from sources other than the agricultural household enterprise. Landless households were also not included in the study. Moreover, the data on net results of crop production had been compiled at district level or crop-wise while for the assessment of income distribution household level computations were required. It was however impossible to get back to the raw data.
