JOSHI Graduate Student, Graduate School of International Development and Cooperation Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan 739-8529 [email protected] Abstract Occupational caste is deprived in terms of education, and landholding. Due to this laboring and agriculture (specially small animals like goats and poultry) remain the prominent source of income for them. Average income from salaried job is the highest followed by remittance and that from laboring is the lowest. This led to the high concentration of Occupational caste under third and fourth income quartile (poorer). A share of income from agriculture in total income is the highest and the share from laboring is the lowest. Relative concentration coefficient (RCC-ci or gi) shows salaried job has both the highest income disequalizing effect (ci = 1.56 or gi = 1.49) as well as the highest factor inequality weight (wici) followed by agriculture. In case of Melauli, however, salaried job followed by remittance has the highest income disequalizing effect. Negative values of Relative Concentration Coefficient and factor inequality weight for laboring indicate that income from it has the income equalizing effect.

  • An Evaluation of the Nepal Education Project, 2010 to 2015

    An Evaluation of the Nepal Education Project, 2010 to 2015

    An Evaluation of the Nepal Education Project, 2010 to 2015 Jagannath Adhikari Thomas Robertson September 21, 2015 1 Executive Summary Introduction This is an end of the project evaluation of ‘Nepal Education Project' implemented between 2010 and 2015 in 10 districts in Nepal by Anti-Slavery International, Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC), and Backward Society Education (BASE). The project was aimed at ending the cycle of labour exploitation by facilitating access to education and skills training for children of former and current Kamaiya and Haliya bonded labourers in Nepal. Kamaiya are generally landless Tharu agricultural laborers who, unlike regular tenants, fall into debt to their landlords and work to repay the debt. In the worst cases, the debt is passed on from generation to generation. In the early 2000s, there were roughly 19,000 Kamaiya families. The Haliya of far-western Nepal are agricultural labourers, generally illiterate untouchable dalits, who have become trapped in debt and caste obligations to higher caste landlords. Despite significant recent changes, the Haliya--like all dalits in the mid West and far West--often face very harsh caste-based social discrimination: they are denied education, government services, and face poor treatment wherever they go. In the early 2000s, there were approximately 17,000 Haliya families. Both the Kamaiya and the Haliya have benefitted from freedom movements during the last two decades, led by NGOs and the people themselves. After many years of grassroots organizing and political lobbying (led in part by one of the partners for this project, the Backward Society of Nepal or BASE), in July 2000 the government declared freedom for Kamaiyas.
