  1 min 22 sec to read

November 9: The number of unemployed youths has been growing in Province no 7 (formerly known as Far-Western Development Region). The number has been growing as the region lacks industries and factories as well as industry-friendly policies, and the existing industries have not been operating as per their capacity.

According to the statistics of the Labour Office, Seti Zone, there are 12,300 unemployed youths in Kailali, Doti, Bajhang, Bajura and Achham districts. The data shows that most of the unemployed youths are moderately literate people to the people holding under-graduate degrees. Kailali tops the list with a total of 10,502 unemployed youths consisting of 5,789 male and 4,713 females, according to the statistics of the Labour Office.

Jayadev Bista, acting chief of the office, said that population between the age group of 18 to 58 were included in the study. He said that the number will continue to rise until industry-friendly policies are implemented at the local level with development of industries and factories. The office has been collecting the data on unemployed youths since the fiscal year 2008/09.

The office stated that though there are demands for technically skilled labourers, most of the youths are unemployed as they lack technical skills. Bista said that the office has assured job placement to at least two dozens of youths having technical skills in different organizations and industries.  

“Most of the industries are dependent on Indian labour for skilled manpower,” said Shanker Bogati, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the far west. The private sector claims that there is lack of skilled manpower in the industry.
