As the international markets continue to revive after the coronavirus ravaged the global economy for two years, number of Nepalis going abroad in search of jobs has grown exponentially. But despite two decades’ track record of exporting human resources, Nepal has largely failed to supply high-skilled and professional manpower to the Gulf countries and elsewhere. According to the statistics of the Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE), only eight high skilled and 48 professionals left the country for jobs abroad in a month from mid-May to mid-June this year while the department had issued about 62,349 labour permits during the same period.
