Job Description
Background
The world is facing a severe labor shortage. High-income countries are projected to experience a cumulative workforce gap of 40-50 million people by 2030, expanding to 120-160 million by 2040. This shortfall spans several sectors, including healthcare, education, and industrial labor.
Meanwhile, India's migrants are one of its biggest exports, generating $125 billion in remittances annually—equivalent to 3% of India's GDP. This figure surpasses any single sector of India's merchandise exports. Yet, while migrants constitute about 1.3% of India’s population, this is substantially lower than other developing countries like Mexico, the Philippines, or Bangladesh, signaling untapped potential. The developmental impact of remittances is also higher than that of an equivalent amount in goods exports. A study reveals that a 10% rise in remittances reduces poverty by 3.5%, highlighting the potential for economic upliftment through strategic migration.
