About the Program
The South Asian Economics Students Meet (SAESM), a network of economics students and faculty from across leading universities in South Asia, and the Central Department of Economics, Tribhuvan University (CEDECON-TU), are pleased to announce a call for participation in a university quiz contest. This event is open to university students across Nepal and aims to promote critical understanding and discussion of labor market issues. The event is organized in partnership with the World Bank Group under the #ClearHerPath initiative, which aims to promote awareness and dialogue on gender and labor market outcomes in South Asia.
About the Quiz
The quiz will focus on key issues related to female labor force participation, particularly in the South Asian context, including themes of gender participation, employment trends, and policy interventions. It aims to encourage students to learn more about these subjects and the World Bank Group’s analytics and then assess participants’ analytical abilities, conceptual understanding, and awareness of current economic debates. The competition will also foster teamwork, knowledge sharing, and academic collaboration among students.

Application Process
Selection Process
Round 1
Prospective teams are required to submit their forms through the online form: https://forms.gle/6Dj1Zcce5yBVB8dx6. The form includes an image depicting women's participation in the job market. Teams must write an essay explaining what the image conveys. The essay should be structured in three distinct sections: i) explaining the situation as portrayed by the image while supporting arguments with available data and statistics; ii) analyzing the message the image delivers in relation to women's participation in the labor market; and iii) identifying key policy actions required to address this issue. The essay should be a maximum of 500 words, and a balanced write-up across three key dimensions is expected. A total of 10 teams will be selected based on the evaluation of responses by the team from CEDECON-TU.
The content should be originally written. A write-up generated by AI is strictly prohibited. The department will check for both use of AI and plagiarism using software being used by Tribhuvan University.
Round 2
Shortlisted teams will be invited to submit a 30-second video in which all team members collectively respond to a question/issue provided by the organizers. All team members must appear and speak in the video. Innovations while creating videos are expected.
The video must be original and recorded exclusively for this program and must not have been used/published elsewhere. As these videos will be used as part of the campaign, the organizers will communicate with and seek consent from the teams before making them public.
Round 3
Based on Round 2 results, the top 5 teams will participate in the final live quiz competition.
