This presentation summarizes foreign employment trends in Nepal. It notes that around half of Nepali households have at least one member working abroad, with the majority (75.5%) being unskilled workers. Charts show that more youth enter the labor market daily than leave the country, but 1300 people do emigrate daily. While challenges include lack of safety and proper jobs, opportunities exist for skilled workers and demand for Nepalis is growing. Remittances have significantly increased Nepal's economy, rising from 359.6 billion Nepali rupees in 2011/12 to 665.4 billion in 2015/16.
