Background • This training course“ Youth organizing campaign through study circle “aims to develop study circle organizers and leaders on the issues of organizational ,economic and social policies for promotion of decent work, in particular for young women and men. • Each year, massive number of young workers join the labour force but often forced to be unemployed or under-employed, working in insecure and underpaid jobs under exploitative conditions.
Background and Justification • Nepal is land lock country. Land is still the major form of wealth and main source of income with $220 GNP per capita. Literacy is rate is low as 45% and 62% are males and 28% are females. The total population is 23.1 millions and size of labour force is as high 11.2 millions and growing annually at a rate of 2.3%. • Unemployment rate is 4.89% .but underemployment is as high as 45% of the total labour force and further increasing because of the political turmoil and uncertainty in recent years has hindered economic development process and crucially affected employment situation. .Formal sector employment is declining and livelihood reliability on informal sector employment is increasing at a very fast rate . Organising rate is still not more than 9% because organising wide spread informal sector workforce is not going to be easy. • NTUC has already completed the study circle campaign in Brick kiln (Construction sector) with the support of ILO. From this programme, NTUC has been able to increase the number of membership to a great extent.
Background and Justification • NTUC would like to expand its network much bigger and well-equipped, skilful and result –oriented trade union activist can meet the globalization challenges.
