Abstract

This paper describes the results of two specific primary surveys, one of IT professionals in the city of Bangalore and their role in making the city a corridor for international mobility of Indian professionals, and the second survey of health professionals (doctors and nurses) in the city of New Delhi. In these surveys, highly skilled Indians were asked about their motivations for emigrating, their experiences abroad, their reasons for coming back to India and their perception of their current situation. These surveys were carried out as a supplement to a study on estimating the stocks, flows and international mobility of human resources in science and technology (HRST) in India. The results of that work are reported in STI Working Paper 2004/7 (Khadria 2004.

Migration des Indiens hautement qualifiés : Etudes de cas concernant des professionnels des technologies de l'information et de la santé
Ce document présente les résultats de deux enquêtes de terrain, dont l’une est consacrée aux professionnels des technologies de l’information de la ville de Bangalore et au rôle qu’ils jouent en faisant de la ville une porte d’accès à la mobilité internationale pour les professionnels indiens, et l’autre aux professionnels de santé (médecins et infirmières) de la ville de New Delhi. Les enquêteurs ont interrogé des Indiens hautement qualifiés sur les raisons qui les avaient amené à émigrer, leur expérience à l’étranger, les raisons de leur retour en Inde et la perception qu’ils avaient de leur situation actuelle. Ces enquêtes venaient compléter une étude sur l’estimation des effectifs, des flux et de la mobilité internationale des ressources humaines consacrées à la science et à la technologie (RHST) en Inde. Les résultats de ces travaux figurent dans le document de travail STI 2004/7 (Khadria, 2004).
