Course Overview: Child Wellbeing & Development
• Among Asia’s poorest and least developed countries (ranked 145 out of 187 countries on the Human Development Index), land-‐locked Nepal lacks universal access to health care, compulsory educaUon and essenUal legal protecUons for children
• Adults and children migrate to urban centers in search for income and a beVer life but labor exploitaUon is common
• Migrant children are systemaUcally hired into brick manufacturing, carpet weaving and other industries hazardous to their health and development while denying them access to educaUon
