TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigate the labour supply chain of Indian technical immigrants in the United States and reveal a latent phenomenon of broker-induced precarity that results from the labor supply chain and explore how aspirational jobs are becoming precarious ones.Abstract:
The primary purpose of this article is to investigate the labour supply chain of Indian technical immigrants in the United States. The two important findings that emerge are as follows: First, the study unearths a latent phenomenon of broker‐induced precarity that results from the labour supply chain and explores how aspirational jobs are becoming precarious ones. Second, the study provides a foundation for devising policies and interventions to make the process of the labour supply chain less detrimental to the Indian technical immigrants. This article draws on a seven‐month‐long field‐based qualitative study and ensures a meticulous triangulation of the findings through an analysis of archival data and actual artefacts related to manpower movement across the labour supply chain.read more
