Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. About one-quarter of the Nepalese population is currently living below the poverty line. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy, providing the livelihood of three-fourths of the population and accounting for a little over one-third of the national GDP. Nepal is mainly a source country for men, women, and children who are subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Nepali men are subjected to forced labor, most often in the Middle East and, to a lesser extent, within the country. Nepali women and girls are subjected to sex trafficking in Nepal, India, and the Middle East, and also are subjected to forced labor in Nepal and India as domestic servants, beggars, factory workers, mine workers, and in the adult entertainment industry.
