According to Nepal’s latest census (Government of Nepal, Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers and National Statistics Office, 2021), the population includes 5,876,269 adolescents (defined as aged between 10 and 19 years) – 2,990,477 males and 2,885,792 females. They comprise 20% of the country’s total population. Various actors (government and non-government) have been implementing development programmes targeting adolescents over the past decade after a country-wide study on adolescents’ lives in 2011. Other sectoral programmes on education, life skills, early marriage, and sexual and reproductive health have also included a focus on adolescents. They comprise 20% of the country’s total population.
