- 5. The plot is illustrating the labour net flows across industries when they migrate for employment between India and other countries. The circle filled with colors denote the positive inflows to the industry, while the hollow ones represent the negative outflows. And a larger bubble size implies a stronger inflow/outflow effect. The result shows there is no strong positive net inflow effect being observed. All industries are experiencing brain drain to other countries. Note: According to the methodology in the report, to reduce bias caused by small sample size, the migration of industry is recorded with a value only if it has more than 50 observations. Inflow effect is recorded when the net flow is positive, vise versa. Which industries are the labours transferring to?

- 6. How are the skill flows associated with labour migration? When migrant workers are carrying the existing skills or obtaining new skills from a new job opportunity — it induces the effect of skill migration in terms of net flows between sending countries and recipient countries. The visualization illustrates the effects of skill inflows (in orange) and outflows (in green) in Indian labour market in 2018 by the following five groups: specialized industry skills, business skills, tech skills, disruptive tech skills, and soft skills. Similar to the trends we observed in labour migration in industries, there is no record of net skills inflow to India in the LinkedIn dataset in 2018, while a large amount of skills are transferred to other countries.

- 7. India has a rich asset in labour skills In order to know whether there is skills gap in countries comparing to the labour skillsets at the regional and global level, I compare the country dataset with the global/regional dataset and identify the missing value. For example, the two graphs on the right hand side map out the skills gap in Bangladesh and Thailand. Similar exercise was conducted for India LinkedIn dataset. And there was no result generated because there is no value of the skill gap being observed in India dataset and the global dataset. India has a rich asset in labour skills that are diverse and dynamics across industries – either from the domestic or international workers. But the problem is that they are continuously draining out to other countries. Note: According to the methodology in the report, to reduce bias caused by small sample size, the migration of skill is recorded with a value only if it has more than 50 observations.
