President Dhakal emphasized the need to identify and promote areas that will increase creative employment in order to utilize the labor force in Nepal and to make appropriate use of the skills, knowledge and capital obtained from foreign employment.
“On the one hand, Nepali The labor force is not getting enough employment opportunities in Nepal, while on the other hand, Nepali employers are not able to get the skilled manpower they are looking for.

In this situation, it is necessary to analyze the gap in employment demand, supply, skill development and employment relations and find new opportunities for labor and employment. For that, an environment for investment in the sector should be created. ”He said.

Therefore, the government, political parties, and the private sector should have a common vision for development and infrastructure development.
In the context of the Nepalese government declaring the next 10 years as the Decade of Internal Employment Promotion, Chairman Dhakal also said that cooperation between the government and the private sector is necessary to expand production and productivity and find a basis for internal employment. Similarly, he stated that harmonious industrial relations between employers and trade union organizations are necessary for creating an industrial environment, and informed that the Federation is working to maintain harmonious relations between employers and workers.
