Reports highlight Nepal's ongoing reliance on labor migration, including to Greece, amidst concerns on worker welfare and systemic issues.
Nepal continues to experience a significant outflow of migrant workers seeking employment opportunities abroad, including in countries such as Greece. Official data and studies indicate that the country remains heavily dependent on labor migration as a critical source of economic support. However, concerns have been raised regarding the conditions faced by these workers overseas, including issues related to worker protection and recruitment practices. Authorities in Nepal and Greece, along with international organizations, are increasingly focusing on improving oversight, ensuring ethical recruitment, and enhancing the protection of Nepalese migrant workers. While remittances provide vital income for Nepalese families, the challenges of safeguarding workers’ rights abroad remain a priority for policymakers and stakeholders. This ongoing situation underscores the complexities of labor migration and the necessity for coordinated efforts between origin and destination countries to protect migrant workforce welfare.
