It does not matter that remittances are the lifeblood of the Nepalese economy. According to Nepal Rastra Bank, remittances are now coming in at around 4 billion per day. Since foreign exchange reserves, remittances contribute the most to sustaining the domestic economy.

As domestic employment continues to shrink, foreign employment has become more of a necessity than a necessity today. But the situation of compulsion and vagrancy is not becoming a national debate. 

In recent times, there has been an increase in the trend of deceiving young people by opening organizations that have a double meaning in the name of 'Job Center'. Young people who have paid lakhs of rupees to unauthorized agents by believing misleading advertisements on social media are being cheated day in and day out.

When centers and middlemen show unemployed youth the dream of Europe, Canada and America, complaints have been filed in the department and the police. In the last 9 months, more than 4,000 such fraud complaints have been received at the Foreign Employment Department. More than 90 percent of these are personal. 

Even though lakhs of rupees have been cheated by believing advertisements on social media, it has not been regulated. Another problem is the proliferation of fake documents. Visit visa fraud has become another business. There are also some who extort money and run away by saying that they will take them on a visit visa.

Some have gone abroad on visit visas, but they are stuck there without finding work. In the name of foreign employment, there are also people who go to countries like Cambodia and Thailand and do illegal work like Sakkam. 

The workers who managed to escape from the middleman's trap and return to their country have not been able to get compensation for being cheated. Manpower, agents, middlemen and organizations that pretend to provide educational counseling are running scams. Our government agencies have become complacent even though they are putting up sign boards and running open scams in the name of educational counseling.

Who will listen to the problem of unemployed youth who are going to work abroad after selling their farm? The Foreign Employment Department is backing away saying that there is no legal basis to take action against organizations other than the manpower company. On the other hand, even the Nepal Police has dismissed the fraud complaint saying that the department will look into it.

The young victims are shocked when they rush to the Human Trafficking Bureau in Soltimode and Babarmahal in Kathmandu. There is a large number of young people expressing their grief that the problem has not been solved even though they have expressed their views to the media houses and YouTube channels, not only the government mechanism for the return of the trapped money.

The youth who came to the capital to seek justice from different districts is very happy to get justice. Some say that they have not received justice for 6 months and some for a year. Such a crowd is increasing day by day in the foreign employment department.

Bringing middlemen to justice is slow. Every minister's announcement to organize and dignify foreign employment is limited to paper. The problems of almost 10 years ago are still there. The business of manpower companies charging up to 5 lakh rupees even on the demand of zero cost has not been stopped.

It is not found that the attention of the state that advertises that more than one billion remittances have been received monthly, foreign exchange reserves have increased and the external indicators of the economy are good, is not at all directed towards managing immigration. 

According to the Department of Foreign Employment, now Nepalis have reached more than 110 countries in the name of foreign employment. 80 percent of it is in the Gulf countries and Malaysia. Even in that country, Nepali workers are in the most difficult jobs.

In Nepal, the problem of having to return to Nepal where the health check-up looks fine, but when you go out and see a scar on your chest, has not yet been resolved. Even though domestic women workers are forced to return due to financial and sexual exploitation, our embassies abroad are looking at these problems thoroughly and are helping them. 

As the undeclared ban on domestic women workers is extended, middlemen are taking them to Gulf countries through Indian airports. The Minister of Labor has been saying in a public event that only 50,000 women workers have reached Kuwait. Even though the Parliamentary Committee had given directions to make arrangements for security arrangements 9 years ago, the state has not been able to fulfill those arrangements till now.

The mission is giving a ready-made answer to the complaint that the company does not give the job to the workers who go abroad and that they are financially exploited, even though they are in the embassy and there is no staff to report it. On the one hand, a dynamic labor agreement has not been reached with the destination country, and on the other hand, the issue of making the employer responsible is not clear in the labor agreements. Nepali workers are in its clutches.

Even if the workers are not given pre-orientation training, those who go for foreign employment are facing problems. Every year, more than 600 Nepali youths have to return home with amputations because they do not know how to cross normal roads and work at workplaces. In recent times, the problem of workers returning to the country with kidney problems due to 'heat stress' is alarming.

When a family member who earns money is admitted to the hospital, the condition of the dependent family becomes more miserable. Not only that, some youths have had their hands amputated because they did not know how to work in the industry, and some have had serious accidents in the city because they did not know how to cross the road at traffic lights. Nepali workers are also prone to psychological problems because they are not given general knowledge about the climate and language before going to work abroad.
