Nepal has made notable socio-economic progress in the past decade, reducing its absolute poverty rate from 42 % to 23.8 %. The country has also made the historic achievement of promulgating a new Constitution in September 2015, which enshrines the right of the citizen to be free to engage in all economic, social, cultural and religious activities. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy, providing livelihoods for more than 68 % of the population. In the absence of adequate domestic employment opportunities, an ever-increasing number of Nepalis leave the country for work abroad. Remittances account for 25-28 % of the GDP.
