Abstract: The study is done on the topic ' A STATUS OF CHILD LABOUR IN SMALL
HOTEL AND RESTAURANT IN WARD NO 14 OF KATHMANDU
METROPOLITAN CITY ' The KMC-14 regions of Kuleshwor and Kalanki were the
sites of this research. These locations were chosen mostly because these areas are
highly inhabited districts with a number of modest hotels and eateries. This study
documented the issue of child labor in hotels and restaurants, so it is descriptive. The
exploratory approach has been used to investigate some fresh information about
economic values, pull and push variables, and the current situation of child labor in
restaurants and tea shops. The number of child laborers is unknown for tea shops and
small restaurants. The universe of the study included all of these tea shops and
restaurants. The researcher purposefully chose each of these 50 child labor tea shops
and restaurants for the in-depth analysis. A sample is a representative version of the
entire sample. All hotels and restaurants provided a sample of at least one child
laborer on purpose. Primary data are required for a clear understanding of the
circumstances affecting the child labor research area. In addition, the extent that the
current investigation was relevant, various published and unpublished material equity
were studied.The researchers organized an interview schedule with set questions
about the children's situations.Interview schedule, observation and caste study are the
main research tools has been used for this study.
It has been found that a large family could not support all members of the family for
the long term livings. This is one of the major clue that encourages children to
become child labor.About 20% and 8%, respectively, of the 50 child laborers were
fatherless, while 70% of the respondents had both parents. Furthermore, the primary
contributing element to make child labour was the parents' passing. The research's
findings regarding the child labor market indicate that just 28% of the children were
without parents. Agriculture is the primary occupation of the majority of people.
About 68% of the child laborers' families were employed, according to a study done
on over 50 respondents at hotels and restaurants. The remaining respondent families
made up of 8% and 24% wage labor and other workers, respectively.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZSkill gaps in financial technology companies in NepalBartaula, Sajanhttps://elibrary.tucl.edu.np/handle/123456789/209582023-12-13T21:18:28Z2023-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Skill gaps in financial technology companies in Nepal
Authors: Bartaula, Sajan
Abstract: In Nepal, financial technology (fintech) companies have predominantly
centred their operations within the payment domain, operating under the labels of
Payment Service Operators (PSO) and Payment Service Providers (PSP), as regulated
and licensed by the Nepal Rastra Bank. Fintech uses skilled human resources for its
development and operation. The skill gaps among the IT employees working for
fintech companies in Nepal have received little attention. This study aims to
investigate the current status of skill gaps among IT employees in fintech companies
in Nepal. Additionally, its purpose includes shedding light on the underlying causes of
skill gaps, consequential effects, and anticipated coping strategies. This study
employs a mixed-methods design, combining structured questionnaires administered
to 57 out of 61 companies whose respondents were IT managers, as well as an
interview inquiry with the 18 participants working in senior and entry-level positions.
Analysis of the data using the Kruskal-Wallis test reveals statistically
significant differences in skill gaps among entry-level, mid-level, and senior-level IT
employees across 15 distinct disciplines. Post hoc tests further reveal significant
disparities in skill gaps between entry-level employees compared to their mid-level
and senior-level counterparts. While variations between mid and senior-level
employees exist, they fluctuate between significant and non-significant differences.
The highest level of skill gap is found to be at entry-level among the three groups.
The results depict a small minority of entry-level employees performing their jobs at
the required level. The major causes of the skill gap at entry-level include the
education system not aligning with market requirements, limited exposure to real-life
problems, ineffective internships, and training and certifications. The causes of the
skill gap for mid and senior employees include changes in skill requirements, a high turnover rate, remote working, and training and certifications. The effects of skill gaps
at individual levels are reduced productivity, hindering self-development, promotion,
earnings, and work-life balance. The effects of skill gaps at the company level are a
decrease in output and productivity, a delay in the launch of new products, an increase
in operation costs, outsourcing, and a decrease in profitability.
