Over 200,000 workers, of whom as many as 30,000 are children, labour in unhealthy and unsafe conditions in Nepal’s brick kilns. The informal nature of the industry, which operates on the periphery of communities and with little government oversight, has served to entrench exploitive labour practices such as forced, bonded, and child labour. While work conditions are often harsh, the brick industry provides needed income to thousands of unskilled labourers, and in the wake of the Gorkha Earthquake of April 2015 the sector has become a particularly vital source of the jobs and building materials necessary for
Nepal’s rebuilding and recovery. Vacancy details are as follows:
