Foreign Employment Contribution and Challenges for Nepali Workers

The contribution of foreign employment to Nepal's economy is significant. Remittances sent by millions of Nepali workers working in Gulf countries, Malaysia, and various countries around the world not only sustain the lives of their families but also greatly support the country's economy. However, the worker whose labor and sweat keep this economy running has not fully received the light of respect, security, and justice in their life.

The hope of migrant workers that the sun set in darkness will rise with a golden dawn has not yet been realized. Although Nepal's laws and policies are becoming stronger, weaknesses in implementation and obstacles to labor rights seen in destination countries mean that the security of Nepali workers is still incomplete.
