KATHMANDU: Minister for Labour, Employment and Social Security, Sharat Singh Bhandari, has said the government is preparing to announce the Internal Migration Decade from 2081 to 91 BS.
Speaking at a program organized to launch the Nabil Skilled Overseas Entrepreneurship Loan program here today, the Minister shared about the government’s preparations for observing the National Migration Decade beginning next year.
As he said, a task force is working on the national migration policy. “We are responsible for preventing the plight of the domestic workforce through the promotion of job creations internally.”
Presently, he said, the development of an internal employment information system is underway towards that end.
He said though foreign employment has been a great support for the country’s gross domestic product, the exodus of the workforce has caused issues in the domestic labor market.
Youths are forced to go outside in lack of job opportunities at home. He also acknowledged that government has not been able to create a favourable atmosphere for foreign migrant returnees to utilise their skills and capital back to home.
