South Indian Workers Expand Overseas Job Searches Amid Growing Risks
South India has a longstanding tradition of overseas employment, especially in the Gulf region, supporting economies like Kerala's through remittances. Recently, younger workers from Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh are seeking jobs in less familiar destinations such as Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean region. This shift introduces new risks due to limited support networks and information gaps, with unverified visa agents exploiting these vulnerabilities. Established consultancies emphasize the need for reliable guidance as the overseas job market becomes more complex.
