Also, share it on Facebook so other Nepali people are aware of this project!

Labor v Leisure in Kathmandu

The wealth of the richest 20 % in Nepal, mostly concentrated in Kathmandu valley, has been growing over the last decade (CLICK HERE). Also, the labor force participation rate for women 15 and older has been steadily increasing (CLICK HERE).
