The recent rising volumes and the variety in trends and patterns of cross-national population movements impact the social, economic and political fabrics of the receiving and sending countries. This book focuses on Indians, also known as Asian Indians or East Indians, a group that is becoming noticeable outside of India because of its increasing numerical presence and intra-group diversity. The destinations considered in this study are the four classical immigration countries, comprising Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and the United States of America, and an emerging destination nation, Germany. While there has been a significant increase in the body of work examining socioeconomic outcomes of immigrants in a comparative framework, there is no research comparing the socioeconomic well-being of Indian immigrants across the major destinations of the developed world. This book aims to fill that gap in the literature.
