| Abstract: | India has a vast reservoir of highly skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor force and is one of the major source countries
in the global labor market. The current paper is the first of its kind to focus primarily on migration of health professionals
from India. In the absence of national-level data on migration, the paper uses data from different sources to outline the
magnitude and direction of flow of health care providers from India. The paper also assesses the existing global and national
policies on migration and discusses their relevance in the context of migration of health professionals from India. |
