Nepal's Foreign Employment Stuck in Traditional Destinations Amidst New Opportunities

Kathmandu. Foreign employment, considered the main backbone of Nepal's economy, has been revolving only around Gulf countries and Malaysia for the last three decades. Nepali workers are also being attracted to new and attractive destinations in the global market, especially European countries.

In search of attractive salaries, human rights guarantees, and a secure future, the number of Nepalis going to Europe is increasing day by day. However, as the government has not opened the way to go to new destinations through manpower companies institutionally, millions of youths are forced to fall into the trap of middlemen and human traffickers.
