Most of the respondentsreported that agriculture was the major occupation before displacement but, afterdisplacement, most of them were involved in labours.Around 64 percent respondentshave been living on rent, 15 percent on camp, 7 percent in relatives/friendshouse and 14percent have been living their own house after displacement. This study explores the problems created by conflict between security forces and Maoistsand explains the major causes of internal displacement among adolescent and youththrough social, political, economic, cultural, health and violence against adolescent andyouthgirls. Internally displaced adolescent and youth had very good relation to their neighbours andrelatives before displacement. But after displacement this proportion was founddecreased. The proportion of respondents falling sick increased after displacement.Similarly, the access of natural resources decreases after displacement among adolescentand youth. Involvement in occupation has been cut off after displacement. Before displacement,respondents were involved in various jobs and social works.
