🚨 Why are Nepal’s Youth Leaving? 🚨
This isn’t just a headline — it’s a reality we live every single day. Almost every Nepali family has someone abroad. Some left for jobs, some for studies, and some because they simply lost faith that Nepal could give them a future.

But let’s pause for a moment. Why exactly are so many young people leaving? And what does it mean for our country’s future?

👉 1. Lack of Jobs
Youth unemployment in Nepal is around 21%. Many graduates spend years sending CVs, only to end up underemployed or stuck in temporary jobs. It’s not just about “no jobs,” it’s about no growth path. A country where educated youth cannot build stable careers will always push its talent away.

👉 2. Better Pay Abroad
Money speaks louder than patriotism. The same skill — whether coding, nursing, teaching, or construction — earns 3x to 10x more overseas than here. That’s why remittances are Nepal’s lifeline, contributing ≈12.4% of GDP (H1 FY25). But ask yourself: should our economy always depend on our youth working outside, away from their families?

👉 3. Education & Exposure
It’s not just about salaries. Many leave because they want world-class education, global exposure, and professional experience. In 2024 alone, 1.674M Nepalis went abroad. That’s nearly the size of Kathmandu’s population leaving in one year! This shows how deeply migration has become part of our system.

👉 4. Instability & Corruption
We can’t ignore this. Frequent political changes, unstable governance, and corruption have made many youth feel like the system is broken. When there’s no trust in leaders, people stop waiting for change and start searching for flights.

👉 5. The Brain Drain
Here’s the bigger picture: when millions leave, innovation slows. Entrepreneurship suffers. The nation becomes remittance-dependent instead of innovation-driven. Yes, remittances keep families alive — but what about building industries, creating jobs, and inventing the future? That’s the opportunity we’re losing.

💡 But here’s where it gets personal.
I went abroad too. I studied, I worked, I built experiences in Ireland. But in the end, I chose to return. Because leaving is easy. Building here is harder. But it’s worth it.

Nepal will only change if enough of us decide to invest our skills, time, and energy back home. It won’t happen overnight — but it will never happen if we all give up.

🔥 So what can we do?
• If you’re abroad → Share knowledge, mentor, and consider investing back home.
• If you’re in Nepal → Support local startups, demand accountability, and build community-driven solutions.
• If you’re a student → Learn global skills, but don’t underestimate the value of bringing them back.

✊ This is not just my story. It’s OUR story.
Let’s not just ask “Why are youth leaving?” Let’s ask “How can we bring them back?”

💬 Comment below:
➡️ “I’m coming back” if you plan to return.
➡️ “How can I help?” if you want to support Nepal from abroad.

Together, we can shift the narrative. From leaving Nepal → to building Nepal. 🇳🇵✨
