The economy of Nepal is currently only developing, but it is making big strides. It is based largely on agriculture and tourism. Due to high unemployment, people are forced to leave to work in India and the Persian Gulf countries of Central Asia. These people transfer money to their homeland, and such labor immigration also brings significant income to the country's economy.
Nepal is working hard to improve life expectancy, which was catastrophic half a century ago - the average life expectancy was only 35 years! Much has been done in this area.
