Migration Data:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lack of comprehensive data limits understanding of migration trends and skill needs, hindering evidence-based policy interventions.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Emigration clearance data only tracks low-skilled workers in 18 countries, <\/span><b>excluding skilled professionals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> migrating to diverse global markets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Uncoordinated Bilateral Agreements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Agreements on mobility lack coherence, resulting in scattered efforts without a unified strategy for global skill demands.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pacts like<\/span><b> India-Saudi Arabia agreements<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> focus on worker welfare but miss long-term skill alignment with market requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Insufficient Skill Certification Systems:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Weak certification frameworks fail to ensure global recognition of Indian skills in key markets.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Workers trained under Indian schemes face difficulties when their <\/span><b>qualifications <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are <\/span><b>unrecognized<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in North American countries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Neglect of Skill Forecasting:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> India lacks mechanisms to predict emerging global skill demands, leading to mismatched skill supply.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Unlike<\/span><b> Europe\u2019s Cedefop<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, India has no institution to analyze real-time global job market trends systematically.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Underutilization of Return Migrants:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Skills acquired abroad are rarely utilized due to absence of formal reintegration programs.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Returnees from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries with specialized construction experience often remain unemployed or u<\/span><b>nderemployed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in India.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Measures To Address These Challenges And Creating A Comprehensive Policy Framework<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unified Policy Framework<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Formulate a comprehensive national policy on international labour migration with skill-centric mobility as a core pillar.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Developing a <\/span><b>National Skill Mobility Mission<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to consolidate bilateral agreements under a single umbrella.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Skill Mapping and Forecasting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Anticipate and align India\u2019s skill development efforts with global skill needs by leveraging big data analytics and forecasting tools.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Using platforms like <\/span><b>LinkedIn Economic Graph <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to analyse real-time job vacancies in Canada and the U.S.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Curriculum Alignment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Reorient skill programs in line with the qualification frameworks of destination countries to meet global standards.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b> <b>National Skills Qualification Framework<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be updated to reflect competency requirements in the EU and Gulf nations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Global Skill Partnerships<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Collaborate with key destination countries on skill partnerships for targeted training and labour mobility.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Developing <\/span><b>customised skill programs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <\/span><b>healthcare<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><b> IT sectors <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with Germany and Japan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Integrated Information System<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Create a labour migration information platform to track data on skills, trends, and outcomes for better policymaking.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>For example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> India can adopt a model like the <\/span><b>European Mobility Scoreboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for tracking migration trends and outcomes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p
