Naga youths going abroad as cheap labour
Morung Express | Dimapur | July 5 :
Reports that around 150 Naga youths are being sent to work in Abu Dhabi (UAE) and South Korea for a meager monthly salary of US $ 200 (=Rs. 8,294) and US $ 400 (=Rs.17, 848) is worrisome news.
According to the report, the Government of Nagaland is planning to send 40 Naga youths to Abu Dhabi to work with Hyundai Motors and the rest will work at a veterinary company in South Korea. The prospect of working abroad may sound alluring, but the salaries these youths are being offered is not even the legal minimum wage prescribed by the host countries.
Nagaland government has also expressed worry about the meager amount; but it has already signed MoUs with the companies where the youths will be employed.
