Transcending Boundaries: Indian Nurses in Internal and International Migration
Published By: CWDS on eSS | Published Date: June, 03 , 2007This paper discusses the case of Indian nurses who take up their
profession as part of a family strategy, where planning for education and
migration are intrinsic to the whole process. In effect, they migrate in a
step-by-step phased manner: first within Indian states, mainly to
metropolises, then to countries in the Persian Gulf, and further towards
the West. It is not a simple, linear course of migration for them nor is it
unique in any extraordinary way: yet their stories offer a terrain that is
hitherto unexplored.
