Poverty is also an issue; 47%of people in Nepal are underemployed. The youth in this nation are susceptible to drug abuse, HIV/AIDS, sex trafficking, and more. When Hindus convert to Christianity in Nepal, they are outcast. Health is also a concern; 80% of diseases in Nepal are due to low basic sanitation and 60% of child deaths are due to malnutrition.
