In an era marked by swift demographic changes, the population of a country emerges as a crucial source of power and progress, shaping the future geopolitical landscape. This paper explores the dynamic interplay between evolving demographic elements and their intricate relationship with geopolitics. Through a synthesis of compelling cases and data-driven analysis, the paper provides fresh perspectives on the geopolitical ramifications of demographic transitions. The research incorporates a literature review, establishing the significance of population as a determinant of national power, offering a comprehensive overview of global demographic changes, and presenting an empirical analysis that underscores the role of demographic shifts as catalysts for geopolitical consequences. The study, grounded in political demography theory, integrates demographic aspects with geopolitical implications. Employing qualitative analysis, the research utilizes both numerical and non-numerical data from secondary sources to establish connections among variables. Overall, the discussion underscores that demographic shifts, ranging from declining population growth in certain nations to youth bulges in others, will exert profound impacts on the worldwide geopolitical landscape. It emphasises the necessity for nations to proactively address demographic challenges, through strategic policies that prioritize workforce development, social welfare, and international alliances. This proactive approach is deemed essential for ensuring sustained economic and military capabilities amidst the evolving geopolitical scenario.

This study explores the effects of the internal migration of parents with children on their children's educational achievement. PubMed and HINARI search engines perform advanced searches with specific keywords such as children, migration and educational achievement to extract relevant articles. During the review, 14 articles were identified by using the PRISMA flow diagram for the process of conducting a systematic review. The inclusion criteria specified internal migrant children with their parents and educational outcomes associated with them, with a publication date after within ten years. The search process yielded 8 articles that met the inclusion criteria for the final review. Positive effects are observed on educational achievement for children migrating with parents. Socioeconomic status, education level, and duration of migration influence the educational outcomes of children. Family and community support are important in coping with the difficulties of children's education. Policymakers and educators should address the challenges faced by internal migrant children.

The Government of Nepal implemented a social health insurance program (SHIP) in 2016 to achieve Universal Health Coverage. The objective of this paper is to obtain the opinion of the respondents towards the existing premium rate that has been charged to the members of the social health insurance program. The study followed a cross-sectional descriptive study designed. Information was collected from 360 households using the purposive sampling method. The sample was selected among the households who were interested in buying SHIP within a year but till they have not purchased the health insurance policy. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the opinions of the respondents and Chi Square was used to examine the association between the variables. The study concludes that the opinion of respondents towards the equity of premium for SHI is significantly associated with education and profession but not associated with gender, age, caste, health-related training, life insurance policy, agriculture insurance policy, and commercial health insurance. The majority of respondents opined that the premium should be based on the income of the household, as opposed to being equal among those with disparate incomes. The majority of respondents concurred that the current practice of imposing equal premiums on families having dissimilar incomes is unfair.

Sexual harassment (SH) is a form of illegal, unwelcome sexual act, and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature in the workplace and other environments. This paper aims to analyze the situation and its effect on Nepalese society. The systematic review procedures were followed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. This paper has covered to eligible and inclusion of all articles and search databases published on Nepjol, ResearchGate, Taylor and Francis, Mind and Society between 2019 and May 2023, to be written in English, specially, survey relating to the topic of sexual harassment in those open access journal articles. The initial trial and error method was used to select the sample articles at different times, titles and contents. Most of the sexual harassment study was found in Kathmandu Valley targeting the higher school level of female students. The study found that the majority of victims were female, with girls being the most affected by males. The systematic review revealed that the targeted participants were female rather than male. However, there was a sample bias, non-probability sampling techniques, and a lack of inferential research. The findings support that the systematic review identified the common types of it, various perpetrators, and physical, verbal, and non-verbal effects on the victim. Sexually, the majority of victims were female. A systematic review and descriptive research design are limited, with inferential analysis lacking. Policy reviews and surveys are lacking. Future research should focus on preventive measures, policy formulations, and exploring more areas to address sexual harassment and its effects on individuals and society.
性骚扰（SH）是在工作场所和其他环境中发生的一种非法的、不受欢迎的性行为，以及其他带有性性质的语言和身体行为。本文旨在分析这种情况及其对尼泊尔社会的影响。系统性审查程序遵循系统性审查和元分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。本文涵盖了 2019 年至 2023 年 5 月期间在 Nepjol、ResearchGate、Taylor and Francis、Mind and Society 上发表的所有文章和搜索数据库中符合条件并纳入的所有英文文章，特别是在这些开放获取期刊文章中与性骚扰主题相关的调查。我们采用了初步试错法来选择不同时间、标题和内容的样本文章。大多数性骚扰研究都是在加德满都谷地进行的，目标群体是高中女生。研究发现，大多数受害者为女性，其中女生受男性影响最大。系统审查显示，目标参与者为女性而非男性。然而，存在样本偏差、非概率抽样技术以及缺乏推论性研究等问题。研究结果表明，系统综述确定了常见的暴力类型、各种施暴者以及对受害者的身体、语言和非语言影响。从性别上看，大多数受害者为女性。系统性回顾和描述性研究设计有限，缺乏推理分析。缺乏政策回顾和调查。未来的研究应侧重于预防措施、政策制定以及探索更多领域，以解决性骚扰问题及其对个人和社会的影响。

This paper presents facts and figures of returnee migrant workers in Nepal during the COVID-19 crisis. Nepal, affected by the coronavirus pandemic late after the fourth week of March 2020, the government decided to lockdown due to the appearance of two incidences of infection crossed over one million. Using secondary sources of literature, the paper mainly analyses the facts and figures concerning the COVID-19 crisis and migrant workers' issues. During this period, a severe crisis affected the country with a 75 per cent fall in remittance from the already counted 25 per cent of total gross domestic product. In the beginning, around 1.5 million migrant workers were expected to return by losing jobs in major destinations - India, the Middle East and Malaysia - which is over one-fifth of the total migrant workers abroad. This rate of return however was not recorded to that number. The growing tension of the virus was not limited to the state level only but basically, the individuals losing jobs, killing hopes of getting involved in new jobs and remaining unattended by the state authorities for a longer time amid confusion and dilemma of policies and programmes. Those involved in the informal sectors, particularly the women and other marginalised communities were severely affected when they could not collect food for their families, pay back rents or survive in the place. Reducing the impact of the pandemic, all the stakeholders needed to resume their work by getting proper knowledge and information on the impact of COVID-19. It necessitated concentrating on the immediate priorities such as current living conditions and utilising best practices available and possible in the local communities for reintegration by adopting the tight of the migrant workers. Although the government announced packages to retain nearly one million returnees, this could not properly happen and with dismay, the returned migrants opted to work and jobs abroad.

Teenage childbearing occurs in every society worldwide. Teenagers are understudied and a complex age group to reach. It is essential to know the levels and trends of teenage childbearing with its socio-economic and demographic differentials. Therefore, the overall purpose of the present study is to explore the levels, trends, and differentials of teenage childbearing in India. The required data were obtained from National Family Health Survey (NFHS). The analysis is based on the samples of 24,811 women aged 15-19 in 2005-06 (NFHS-3), 1,21,552 in 2015-16 (NFHS-4) and 1,22,544 in 2019-20 (NFHS-5). Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analysis have been carried out by using SPSS-23. In NFHS-5, the proportion of teenage childbearing is 6.8 per cent, which showed a decline from 16.0 per cent in NFHS-3. Tripura (21.9%) has the highest teenage childbearing percentage, whereas Ladakh had zero teenage childbearing. Among the districts in India, Dhalai district (28.2%) in Tripura has the highest percentage of teenage childbearing. The percentage of teenage childbearing is significantly higher in rural areas than in urban areas, except in Goa and Himachal Pradesh. Higher educational attainment and a rich household wealth index are associated with a lower incidence of teenage childbearing. Except for the NFHS-3, teenage childbearing is comparatively higher among Muslims than among other religions. Exposure to media helps in reducing teenage childbearing. Teenage childbearing is higher among the Scheduled Tribe (S.T) than in other castes. Despite some progress, more has to be done to minimise teenage childbearing in India.

One Health (OH) is a new approach to controlling zoonoses in the veterinary and public health fields in Nepal. This study aims to explore the OH-related knowledge, perception, and practices of service providers like veterinarians, public health, and livestock-related cooperative members in selected districts of Nepal. We randomly selected three municipalities from three districts of Gandaki province in Nepal using by qualitative dominant mixed-method research approach for data collection. The study showed that most of the respondent service providers had a low level of knowledge of the OH approach and conducted their zoonoses control programs vertically in a traditional way. Foot and mouth disease (FMD), brucellosis, Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), rabies, leptospirosis, and bovine tuberculosis (BTB) are livestock-related common zoonoses and dog bites, worm infestation, diarrhoeal diseases showed the common health problems in public health sectors in the study. This prevalence creates a higher zoonoses risk in farming communities of Nepal. Therefore, to control the zoonoses we need to make knowledgeable service providers who are engaged basically in human and animal health care sectors by applying the OH approach. Government should introduce OH-related programs up to the community level and should establish the OH committee at every local level with united all public health, animal health, and water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) related officials in the country.

Climate change has become a significant threat to mankind in recent years. For the development of various adaptation strategies, it is essential to comprehend how people perceive climate change and its indicators. With this consideration, climate change is a glocal problem and discourse that is both global and local in nature. The paper attempts to discuss and analyse on people’s perception on climate change in both local and global contexts. This study is empirical in nature and is based on a review of the literature on how people perceive climate change at all scales, from local to global. For this purpose, systematic review method is used to analyse and discuss the electronic databases of literature search that was extracted by web based search engines. Among 232 literatures identified, 45 most relevant articles were selected for systematic review. The study indicates that the majority of people experienced and strongly perceived changes in climatic factors and events. Most of the local people perceived significant increase in climate change indicators in recent years and faced various level of impacts both local to global context. However, the climate change has affected on livelihood of the people living everywhere. As a result, it is crucial to focus on enhancing locals' capacity to cope to changing climate. The perceived knowledge and understanding of people on climate change can be helpful to cope with the potential risks and challenges of climate change in the future.

Rapid population aging is a characteristic of the 21st century, regardless of a nation’s level of development. An aging global population results in a burden in medical and social demographic problems worldwide. Addressing this problem is the highest priority for the care of the aging population worldwide. Healthy aging is an individual lived experience that is influenced by healthy behaviours over the course of a lifetime. This includes a person’s ability to: meet their basic needs; learn, grow and make decisions; be mobile; build and maintain relationships, and contribute to society. For the promotion of healthy aging, a healthy lifestyle is important. A healthy lifestyle for older adults includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, staying at a healthy weight, improving mental health, social participation, regular health check-ups and health screening, no smoking, and taking steps to prevent falls.

The neo-liberal global food system is facing a huge criticism in recent years. It has some serious problems; two of them are the major ones. First, it could not provide enough and timely supply of food to the people of different regions and sections of the society. Another, it failed to cope with the changing socio-economic drivers of food system; such as migration and climate change. Therefore, searching for an alternative system to ensure food and nutrition security of the global humanity is going under different ways. In this respect, this paper critically evaluates the modern food system in Nepalese context. It utilizes two key perspectives; climate change and Global Value Chain (GVC) and argues that Nepal must find an alternative model of food system to ensure sustainable food supply and food security of the country. The paper primarily relies on secondary sources of data including journal articles, census and survey reports, and news articles.
