Introduction to Nepal
Nepal is a developing nation struggling with government changes, and high poverty and hunger levels. Poverty is mainly due to subsistence farming and low incomes (2015, Human Development Report). This problem forces men out of the country to work to support their families still within Nepal. Therefore, many of the workers in Nepal are women. The more orthodox Hindu communities were found to be poorer than the women in the Tibeto-Burman communities who were found to be more active in the market sector. The women capable of earning money in the market sector could make significant contributions to the household due to the income being earned.
Agriculture plays a large role in Nepal’s economy as it employs approximately 70% of the total population. The main workers have been women doing the drudgery work as the men go out of the rural areas to find higher paying jobs (2015, Human Development Report). Nepal is one of the least developed countries in the world and contributing to this is the 45% unemployment rate of the 28 million people. Most farms are subsistence farms that struggle with malnutrition, hunger, and low income. Nepal also struggles with illiteracy which has inhibited the process of development for the Nepalese population. (2015, Human Development Report) Nepal greatly relies on agriculture and there is potential do develop their agriculture sector.
Another sector that contributes highly to the economy is tourism. Nepal is a geographically diverse country as it has three different regions; the Himalayan Region located along the border of China, then south of this region is the elevated flatlands and located on the Indian border is the terai region. Nepal’s geographical diversity contributes to the flow of tourists which visit Nepal for a variety of activities such as trekking, hiking, paragliding and rafting through the diverse geography of Nepal. Tourism is one of the largest sectors creating a large income for Nepal.
