Youths who passed the Employment Permit System (EPS) language test and completed necessary procedures protested in Maitighar, Kathmandu, demanding the government arrange their prompt departure to South Korea. Protesters cited delays in labor agreements, limited quotas, and administrative complexities as reasons for their prolonged wait for employment.

  • Thousands of Nepali youths have been waiting for a long time to go to South Korea for employment, even after passing the EPS examination and being 'rostered' by Korean employers.
  • Protesters highlighted that they invested years in language preparation, training, and documentation, yet continue to face uncertainty.
  • The demonstrators urged the government to make the process transparent, increase the labor quota, and arrange for their quick deployment.
  • Factors contributing to the delays include the non-arrival of labor agreements, limited labor quotas, procedural delays, and administrative complexities.
