The increasing trend of Nepali youth migrating abroad for education and employment has become a pressing national concern. Each year, thousands leave the country, seeking better opportunities and a higher quality of life elsewhere. This exodus touches nearly every household and community across Nepal.

While remittances from abroad form a significant portion of our national economy, it is crucial to consider the broader long-term implications of this widespread migration. We are witnessing a considerable loss of our most dynamic and educated workforce, which inevitably impacts various sectors of our economy and society.

What are the real costs of this brain drain and demographic shift? Are we sacrificing our future development for short-term economic gains? The absence of young, skilled individuals can stifle innovation, limit entrepreneurship, and place immense pressure on the remaining workforce and social structures.

This thread aims to spark a constructive discussion on this critical issue. What are the fundamental drivers behind this mass migration that go beyond just economic factors? What specific policies or initiatives could the government implement to create more attractive opportunities and a conducive environment for our youth to thrive within Nepal?

Let us share our perspectives, personal observations, and potential solutions. How can we collectively work towards a future where Nepali youth see a viable and prosperous future for themselves right here in Nepal, contributing directly to our nation's growth and development? Your thoughtful contributions are welcome.
