Description The present discussion paper by Janardan Khatry-Chhetry and Bhimendra Katwal, entitled "Off-farm Employment in the Hill and Mountain Regions of Nepal" constitutes one of the three studies on the current state of off-farm employment in selected mountain regions in the Hindu-Kush Himalayas. The studies were initiated by ICIMOD in conjunction with the programme on Population and Off-farm Employment. The general objective of the programme is to identify viable off-farm alternatives and promote practical approaches to employment generation, income enhancement, and sustainability of mountain environments.

Promotion of off-farm activities to absorb a growing labour force and as a supplementary source of household income has received increasing attention from international cooperation agencies and the governments of developing countries. This growing attention has emerged from the concern for environmental protection, poverty alleviation, and issues of equity, unemployment, and underemployment.
