Curated from the ILOSTAT SDMX API republishing the Nepal Labour Force Survey 2017/18 (National Statistics Office), median monthly earnings of employees, both sexes, national currency. Every cell in this vintage carries a break-in-series flag because the 2017/18 round redesigned the survey; the flag is disclosed here. Archetype: all employees in Information and communication (section J). MEDIAN-ONLY shape: the flow publishes one median, no percentiles. It is an all-seniority, all-employee median: treat as a floor when quoting senior roles. The three technology families share this one published pool; section J mixes specialists with telecom and support roles, so it understates pure specialists. The survey vintage is 2017/18, roughly eight years old: treat every figure as a very conservative floor. Nepal's national minimum wage rose from 13,450 to 17,300 rupees between 2018 and August 2023, a 28.6 percent revaluation that approximates the market-wide drift since the survey; the fourth Nepal Labour Force Survey (2024/25) is in the field and its report is unpublished as of this review.
