How are different social groups faring?

There is a need for disaggregated data by social groups to understand it.

I presume I speak for most non-politically affiliated Nepalis that after the initial shock of being caught off-guard by the ongoing developments at the highest levels of government was over, we could not care less about how it all ended. For the fact remains that everyone would be hard pressed to point out how any of the myriad of governments in the past three decades-plus has made life easier for its citizenry at large. Perhaps the one exception one can allow would be the first CPN-UML government when it introduced direct cash transfers to local governments and the old-age population. Otherwise, despite all the country has gone through—the insurgency and the peace process, the difficult transition, and the new constitution—there has really been nothing to distinguish one government from another. Apart from, one would have to admit, KP Oli’s all-powerful prime ministership in his second stint, marked mostly by his increasingly erratic behaviour and, fortunately for the country, the court-stymied power grab.
