Report on the Nepal Labour Force Survey 2017/18
The Nepal Labour Force Survey (NLFS III) was conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2017-2018. This was the third Labour Force Survey and followed NLFS I in 1998/99 and NLFS II in 2008. This report presents the results of the 2017-2018 survey. However, due to changes in the standards after the 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians, results of NLFS III may not be comparable to the previous surveys. The main objective of the survey is, where possible, to analyse the patterns of key labour market outcomes and trends. The survey is a household-based sample survey designed to collect the data on various forms of work, based on which the total labour force in the country is estimated. This survey aims to collect information on employment, unemployment, underemployment and labour-underutilization along with a set of special questions on housing, agricultural land ownership and include several modules, such as own-use production of goods and provision of services, absentees, and volunteer work. -
Arab Ko Lahure: Looking At Nepali Labour Migrants to Arabian Countries
The article examines the increasing trend of labour migration from Nepal to the Gulf countries and its documentation in the existing literature. The authors analyse the patterns, reassess estimates or ‘guesstimates’ of prior studies, and discuss the demographic, educational, regional and work-related aspects of international labour migrants. Through a comparative analysis of information on remittances provided by two sources namely, the National Living Standard Survey 1996/7 and Seddon et al (1998, 2001, and 2002), the authors draw attention to various weaknesses and discrepancies in available data on remittances. Stating the importance of looking into institutional framework that guides international migration in Nepal, the authors provide a discussion on the effectiveness of the Foreign Employment Act, its Rules and Regulations and institutional provisions. A sample survey of migrant labourers from recruitment agencies further enrich their analysis. The overall findings of the study corroborate with previous studies that identify the Gulf region as the largest destination for Nepali migrant workers. -
