ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the introduction of such gender-based quotas of visa over and above all other classifications of immigrant admissions in various destination countries where Indian migrants go. The focus of gender studies in the field of international migration and diaspora has generally been on the downside highlighting marginalization, discrimination and exploitation of women in the low-paying unskilled and semi-skilled jobs in the non-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. The temporization of immigration has promoted return migration of workers to homeland or a third country after a stay of, 5-7 years in that country of destination. Reflecting on the rationality of introducing gender-based positive discrimination in immigration - in terms of introducing quotas or numbers set for giving a different kind or class of visa to women workers and students, that is as human capital and semi-finished human capital.
