Migration matters
Business Standard|May 13, 2024
Mobility must remain a priority for economic diplomacy

Both migration within the country and migration to other countries are usually in search of better livelihood, but can sometimes be distress-led. In 2020, about 18 million people from India were residing outside their country of birth. Countries like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the United States (US), and Saudi Arabia host the largest Indian diaspora. The latest World Migration Report, released by the International Organization for Migration, reaffirms that India to the UAE, the US, and Saudi Arabia feature in the top 10 country-to-country migration corridors.

Interestingly, migration from Bangladesh to India also features on the list. The number of people emigrating from India not only remains the highest in the world but is also gender-skewed. The proportion of male emigrants from India is nearly 65 per cent of total external migration from the country, suggesting that men migrate for work and women stay behind.
