| Migration of Nepalese Youth for Foreign Employment: Problems and Prospects |
 PRINTABLE VERSION |
Female migrant workers are found to be more vulnerable in comparison to male migrant workers. The existing law is itself found to be discriminatory towards women and the issues facing women migrant workers are not considered sincerely enough. That said, the migration of women to foreign employment occupations has assisted in the economic empowerment of females to some extent.
International provisions are found to be very sound and applicable in the protection of the rights of migrant workers but governments in both sending and receiving countries do not seem genuine in their domestication of the spirit of international instruments, conference recommendations and plans of action.
Manpower agencies are almost unfair in their dealings with the workers and their professionalism is questionable. The role of trade union organisations is also found to be ineffective in addressing the issues of potential labour migrants in the home country as well as in the country of destination.
Consequently, the current need is for more effective migration management to reduce the vulnerabilities of migrant workers and safeguard the rights of migrant workers.

A New Window Samyuktha P.C. | Jun 5th, 2010
Your article opened me out into the lives of Nepalis, I live far off in Tamil Nadu: South India. Similarities, windows to a new world - draws me to your article.
I run an online collective called Chai Kadai (literally translated as 'tea shop': a place for conversations around India).
We are launching our first monthly online magazine called Cutting Chai. The first issue discusses about youth cultures around the world, the importance of youth in a society, etc.
Having read this article, I would love to have you write about the Nepali youth population, its culture, and issues. Your piece would be a gem in our collection.
This magazine will travel the world, reach many important artists, experts, professionals, activists personally. I am waiting to hear from you.
