Nepal is currently facing significant political instability as the failure to adopt a Constitution has hindered progress in a range of policy areas. Weak industrial relations and other simmering social and economic tensions provide the backdrop to a serious youth employment crisis. Unemployment rates are surprisingly high given that in low-income countries many people have little choice but to engage in economic activities in the absence of social protection.
With these worrying trends Nepal has an urgent need to develop effective policy responses to the grave problems facing young people. This policy review is part of the support provided by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to Nepal; by analysing the policy environment surrounding youth employment, identifying gaps and proposing recommendations the intention is to assist Nepal to confront the challenges of poor youth transitions to the labour market.
