Following Nepal's first election since the Gen-Z movement, experts call for a shift from dependence on remittances to generating domestic employment opportunities.
Nepal recently conducted its first election since the Gen-Z movement, marking a significant political milestone. The election’s winner now faces the challenge of addressing the country’s economic reliance on remittances sent by overseas workers. Analysts and commentators emphasize the necessity for the new government to pivot away from the current stability reliant on remittance flows, and instead focus on creating sustainable job opportunities within Nepal. This strategic shift is considered vital to ensure long-term economic development and reduce vulnerabilities associated with external economic dependencies. Employment generation domestically would help in stabilizing the economy, improving livelihoods, and reducing the need for Nepalese citizens to seek work abroad, a factor that has shaped the country’s economic landscape for decades.
