There's a quite interestng information page about Nepal here (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/np.html)

I'm not sure about the accuracy of the information it's interesting at least, particularly to compare some of the stats with your own home country.

.........................Nepal.................... ................Australia
median age______20.5________________________37.1
birth rate________30.46 births/1,000 population___12.02 births/1,000 population
Infant mortality___63.66 deaths/1,000 live births___4.57 deaths/1,000 live births
female literacy___39.4%_______________________99%
Unemployment___42%_________________________4.9%

it's not all bad though.

Electricity production for Nepal:
fossil fuel: 8.5%
hydro: 91.5%
nuclear: 0%
other: 0% (2001)

for Australia:
fossil fuel: 90.8%
hydro: 8.3%
nuclear: 0%
other: 0.9% (2001)
