India’s most valuable export: Tens of millions of workers

NEW DELHI — India has a teeming population of able-bodied workers, tens of millions more than its employers can accommodate. Many other countries have the opposite problem: more jobs than workers.

Today, across India’s government and business sectors, a movement is gaining steam to begin exporting more workers. The idea, which economists call labor mobility, is to connect young Indians to companies in places with shrinking populations where labor shortages are holding back growth.

The challenge for India and its partners overseas is the growing opposition to immigration in many countries. Officials are trying to craft policies to make it easier to move Indian workers abroad swiftly, while ensuring they have viable paths home.

On Oct. 9, India’s foreign ministry announced draft legislation for an Overseas Mobility Bill to replace the Emigration Act of 1983. The text proposes to help Indian citizens connect with the “global workplace,” paying special attention to ensuring workers’ “safe and orderly return, and reintegration of returnees.”

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is desperate with their lawsuits and propaganda.

Mexico’s, too.

[Tell It Right]

India also depends on remittances just like Mexico does.

It’s immoral to strip mine other nations of their human capital.

It’s immoral to replace Americans with cheaper foreigner workers. Thus reducing wages and job opportunities for Americans.

The H1B visa program must be ended.

MIGA!

Indians take corruption to creatively high levels. India will export that too. They are second only to the Chinese in that regard.

That was 18th century Africa’s most valuable export too.
