Unemployment in Nepal

The people who are temporarily without jobs are called unemployed. The state of being unemployed is unemployment. If people do not apt jobs to be employed, it is called ‘the problem of unemployment’. Nowadays, this problem is a burning challenge in Nepal.

Many people are unemployed in Nepal. The number of them is rapidly increasing. Therefore, it is a serious problem in Nepal. There are many causes of unemployment. Nepal is an agro-based country. Firstly, many people are employed in agriculture, but nowadays, the trend of leaving agriculture is increasing. People feel that agriculture is not economically beneficial. They go to towns to look for good jobs but they cannot get any jobs easily and become unemployed. Secondly, some educated people are extremely traditional. They feel that educated people should not start simple jobs. They stay at home being jobless. Thirdly, most of the students in Nepal are getting general education. They do not have apt knowledge and skill of technical and practical education. Fourthly, job opportunities in Nepal are very limited.

The problem of unemployment invites many problems and social disasters. If people do not get anything to live on, they are likely to be involved in crimes such as robbery, theft etc. We can see that unemployed youths may start taking drugs and drinking. In some serious conditions, completely unemployed people are likely to commit suicide. The pace of development gets slower because unemployed people cannot educate their children. By the result, the future of them can be led to misery and ruins.

In order to solve the problem of unemployment, the opportunities and facilities of technical education should be decentralized. Youths should be encouraged to get technical education. Technical hands can be self-dependent. Many job opportunities can be created by establishing many factories and industries. In the rural areas, the government should encourage the people to establish cottage industries. Similarly, emigration to cities is to be discouraged to reduce the gravity of this problem.

The problem of unemployment can be reduced and removed but it takes a long time. Everyone must be responsible for it. This problem is more serious in towns than in villages. The development of the rural areas certainly solves the problem of unemployment.
