Art. 24 · Part 3
Right Relating to Labour
श्रमसम्बन्धी हक
Original Text
Every labourer shall have the right to practice appropriate labour. There shall be equal pay for equal work without gender discrimination. Every labourer shall have the right to form and join trade unions.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
Three key labor rights: (1) Work in safe conditions, (2) Equal pay regardless of gender, (3) Form trade unions without fear. This protects Nepal's massive working class — from factory workers to construction laborers to domestic workers.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
श्रमिकलाई उचित श्रम, समान कामको समान पारिश्रमिक, र ट्रेड युनियन गठन गर्ने हक।
✅ Strengths
Constitutional basis for labor law reform and gender pay equality.
⚠️ Concerns
Enforcement in the informal sector (90%+ of Nepal's economy) is virtually nonexistent.
