## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY)

- (a) Yes Madam.
- (b) & (c) A  detailed  study  was  commissioned  by  the  National  Skill  Development Corporation  (NSDC)  to  understand  the  overseas  employment  opportunities.  The  study covered  overseas  employment  opportunity  into  20  key  countries  in  four  major  sectors namely  Manufacturing,  Construction,  Wholesale  and  Retail  and  Health  Care.  The  key trends on overseas employment in India are as under:
- (i) People with technical skills and professional expertise migrate to countries such as the USA, Canada, UK, EU and Australia as permanent migrants. Migrants on the  skilled  side  move  to  developed  countries  in  search  of  jobs  that  suit  their qualifications. Skilled workers usually take up healthcare, management, financial services or information technology jobs in countries like USA, UK, Australia and the European Union.
- (ii)  Unskilled and semi-skilled workers migrate mainly to oil exporting countries of the Middle  East  on  temporary  contracts.  Migrants  at  the  lower  end  of  the  market comprise mostly unskilled casual labourers or those who own or hire small means of  livelihood such  as  carts  or rickshaws and are self-employed. Unskilled labour looks  to  move  to  the  Middle  East  mainly  Saudi  Arabia  and  UAE  in  search  of construction  and  retail  trade  jobs  as  these  economies  offer  more  jobs  due  to shortage of labour in the region.
- (d) There are about 40 skill development schemes/programmes being implemented by Central Ministries/Departments. A list of these schemes is at Annexure-I. The Ministry of Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  allocates  skill  targets  to  Central  Ministries  to  be achieved through their respective skill development schemes/programmes. As reported by National Skill Development Agency (NSDA), 1.04 crore persons were trained under various central skill development schemes/programmes during 2015-16.
