Behind India’s Labour Recruitment Drive for Israel

fontIcon

Hundreds of Indian blue collar workers are seeking jobs in Israel. Workers in Haryana and UP are queueing up for ongoing govt-driven recruitment campaigns. They are lured by salaries 12 times higher than what they earn at home, despite the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. But why send workers to a country at war? What are the laws that will keep them safe? Does it dilute India’s stance on the conflict? Host Anirban Chowdhury explores the economic motivations, the legal questions, and the potential consequences with Kunal Silku, Special Secretary, Labour Training And Employment, UP, Nicholas McGeehan, Director at FairSquare Research and Projects, Usman Jawed, consultant, Fairsquare. Tune in to the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast!
