The Production of Migration in and between India and Germany: Negotiating Categories of Skill

Workshop by SFB project B3 and the Horizon Europe-funded project ›Link4Skills‹

The category of 'skill' is widely used in national, regional and global labour migration policies. The workshop participants examine how this category regulates mobility in particular in the India-Germany migration corridor, and how aspiring migrants deal with its impact on their migration processes.
