Though global migration is seen as a growing
necessity, most countries impose restrictions prohibiting mobility of
individuals. The Economic Intelligence Unit briefing report ‘Paper Chase –
Document fraud in the Immigration process’, states that even though host
governments are in favor of allowing inward migration, the proliferation of fraudulent
documentation is on the rise, causing delays in the immigration screening
process. The risks posed by fraudulent documents are on the rise and the forged
documents industry links directly to people-smuggling / human-trafficking and
other organized crimes.
The percentage of resume fraud in India has
seen an increase. Firms have already begun sharing the database of job applicants
who have faked information in their CV’s. IT sector is the second most affected
vertical, while the banking sector has the highest discrepancies, when it comes
to fudged resumes. One in every four CVs received by the IT services firms is
known to have discrepancies. And one in every six CVs in the BPO industry is
fudged. While the problem is dominant at the fresher level, it goes up to the
senior levels as well.
In the developing country, the final
employment impact of increasing trade depends on the interaction between the
productivity growth and output growth – both in traded goods sectors and in non-traded
sectors. While on hand exports involve demand-led employment growth, but – on the
other hand – imports may displace previously protected domestic firms,
including labor redundancy. In the presence of supply constraints, productivity
growth may exceed output growth even in the exporting sectors, to the detriment
of job creation. Therefore, sheltered sectors in the labor market may act as
labor sinks, often implying hidden unemployment and underemployment. These incident
labor sinks are the areas of employment which are filled by the out-of-state
migrant workers.
