The Missing Link
MOIA ( Ministry
of Overseas Indians Affairs ) has just launched a web site :
Without
doubt , a very useful initiative to protect the interests of ( mostly ) ,
manual workers taking up jobs in Gulf Countries
The site
requires registration from :
>
Foreign Employers wanting to hire Indian workers for posting abroad
>
Indian Recruitment Agencies working on behalf of such Foreign Employers
>
Indian Companies taking their workers abroad for executing projects
emigrate.in , even provides some data about
approximate prevailing wages that Indian workers may expect to get in a few
foreign countries
So , what
are the missing links ?
>
This web site is meant to be used only by various Government Agencies
and what it calls , " Partners " ( ie : Foreign Employers / Indian
Recruitment Agencies / Indian Project Exporters )
>
It does not host searchable
databases of ,
* Manual job vacancies available
abroad
* Manual workers ( Unskilled /
Semi-Skilled / Skilled ) available in India
Now
consider the following :
>
These days , most every country is facing a slow-down of its economy
>
As a result , Foreign Companies are under pressure to cut costs
>
To cut costs , these companies are often retrenching employees
>
For the same reason , these foreign companies are " Outsourcing "
their " Back-Office Jobs " to
India / Malaysia / Indonesia / Philippines etc
>
In nearly all countries , unemployment is steadily rising
>
As a result , there is a strong resentment against foreign workers
>
Since foreign workers work for lesser wages , they are looked upon as
snatching away jobs from native population
>
Soon , thousands of illegal migrants from North African countries , who
are currently flooding the European countries - and facing strong local
resistance - will start rushing to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries ,
which are today , primary destinations of manual Indian workers.
For reasons of religion and language , they will score over the Indians
Also
consider scenario closer at home in India :
>
India adds some 12 million people to its
workforce each year
>
Of these , some 3.5 million are " Graduates "
>
These graduates are unemployable as " Workers " , since they do not
possess any " Manual Skills " ( Carpenter
/ Electrician / Plumber etc )
>
And they don't want to work as " Unskilled Labor " - at home or
abroad !
>
Some 430 lakhs of them are already
registered with 900+ Employment
Exchanges - which can find jobs for only 1 lakh per
year !
>
These 430 lakh resumes ( applicants )
are unavailable for searching and
short-listing , by any Foreign or Indian Project Employer, visiting ,
>
Nor does emigrate.gov.in , carry any searchable listing of jobs abroad,
which these 430 lakh jobseekers can search and directly "Apply Online
",
without having to depend upon the intermediaries ( recruitment agents )
At this stage
, it is worth asking ourselves :
>
Are there clear - and present - indicators that physical export of Indian
Manual Labour is bound to sharply decline in next 2/3 years ?
>
On the other hand , is there a clear opportunity for India's millions of
graduates , to offer their " Digital Back
Office Services " to Foreign
companies , who do not face as much resistance to " Outsourcing " as
they do with physical presence of Indians on their own soil ?
Virtual office operations carried out from India and delivered over
Internet , are inconspicuous ! And a god-sent opportunity for
India's teeming self-employed " Freelancers
" , who can deliver such
services at globally competitive prices.
>
Is it not the right time for Central Government to become "Proactive"
and launch a Virtual Employment Exchange ( VEE
) , as outlined in
" W3F ( World Wide Work
Federation ) ", described on my personal site
