NEPALI WORKER IN SOUTH KOREA

Young Nepali youths started taking up Korea as migrant workers after Nepal signed a memorandum of understanding with the South Korean government on July 31, 2007.With a relatively higher number of applicants, the competition is likely to be tougher this year, human resources experts say. While the number of aspirants is increasing every year, the job quota has remained unchanged. Nepalis in South Korea comprise migrants from Nepal to South Korea, including temporary expatriates and permanent residents, as well as their locally born descendants.
