नेपालमा जनस्वास्थ्यको स्थिति र चुनौति
तपाइलाई नौलो लाग्ने कुरा यसभित्र छ। जनसंख्या र जनस्वास्थ्य एकअर्कासंग सम्बन्धित भएकाले यस सेसनमा नेपालको जनसंख्याको संरचना र चुनौतिबारे चर्चा गर्नेछौ।
नेपालको जनस्वास्थ्य स्थिति र चुनौति विषयमा आरम्भ गरिएको श्रृंखलाको पहिलो पाठ नेपालको जनसंख्याको संरचना, प्रकृति र प्रवृत्ति प्रस्तुत छ। यस पाठमा नेपालको जनगणना २०२१ तथा सम्बन्धित सामग्रीमा आधारित रहेर जनसंख्याको विवेचना गरिएको छ।
अध्ययनअनुसार नेपालमा विगतका तुलनामा घरमा चर्पि बनाउने दरमा सुधार भएको छ। हाल नेपालको जनसंख्याको संरचना हेर्दा कमाउने मानिसको दर आश्रित दरभन्दा राम्रो देखिन्छ। तर यो कर्मशील उमेर १५ वर्षदेखि ६४ वर्ष उमेरसमूहको दर घट्ने क्रम आरम्भ भएर सन् २०४७ मा जनसांख्यिक झ्याल बन्द हुँदैछ। त्यसपछि परिवारमा आश्रितको संख्या उच्च दरमा पुग्नेछ। फलस्वरूप देशविकासका लागि चाहिने जनशक्तिको अभाव हुँनेछ।
