COUNTRY PROFILE · NPL

Nepal 🇳🇵

Limited disruption pressure across 42 representative jobs covering 90.6% of the country's modelled GDP. The Rebellion Risk profile adds a structural-pressure view of how disruption may interact with economic strain, governance, civic space, support systems, and history. Government Preparedness then measures observable capacity to prevent, absorb, and respond to AI-related shocks. These are evidence indexes, not forecasts.

GDP-WEIGHTED REPRESENTATIVE WORK

Jobs shaping Nepal's score

GDP shares are transparent estimates derived from World Bank sector value added and a fixed sector-to-occupation allocation. They describe economic importance, not the percentage of workers in each job.

EVIDENCE OVER TIME

No economically motivated protest is recorded for this country in the selective Carnegie tracker. This is not evidence that none occurred.

Confidence is reduced for modelled inputs. Social protection uses the ILO's 2023 lower middle income group estimate because a complete country-level public download was unavailable. Other fallback fields: none.

Prevention carries 40% of the final score. Absorption and response each carry 30%. The geometric mean limits compensation when one stage is materially weaker.
