Caption/Description

Unemployment is incredibly high in the camps. Bihari men lack the skills to do more than manual day-labor jobs and are prohibited from working in even the lowest paying government jobs. Most face harassment and discrimination when trying to find work. Jobs are insecure, pay less than a dollar a day and contribute little towards building a better future for their families.
