Emigration & Remittance – Survey Regarding Labor Migration to the European Union & Gulf
AsthaRudrakha is doing the Survey in UP. This survey has revealed large gaps among potential emigrants to both EU and the Gulf on critical knowledge and awareness related to migration process. Information is currently sourced through informal channels and on adhoc basis. We will analyze emigrants specifically migrating to the EU & Gulf to understand their demographics, sources of information from which they base their understanding of emigration procedures, gaps in information to finally construct a communications strategy to reach this quickly growing group
