Migrant Health Professionals and the Global Labour Market
«
'Based on a rich study of Nepali nurses and their migration journeys to the UK, this book makes excellent contributions to the study of the gendered migration of healthcare professionals in the context of global health inequalities. Suitably subtitled as "The Dreams and Traps of Nepali Nurses", it offers excellent accounts of the experiences, struggles, and successes of female Nepali nurses in the UK. Adhikari offers a powerful ethnographic critique of dominant stereotypical representations of Nepali women. It will be of particular interest to those studying the migration of healthcare professionals and gender and development.'
—Jeevan R. Sharma, University of Edinburgh
'Nurse migration and mobility continues to grow in magnitude, and the flows become more varied and complex. The implications for policy at national, regional, and global levels become ever more pronounced. This book adds new insights into the lived experience of the nurses who move, and in particular it improves our understanding of the dynamics that are in play in Asia, a region that includes many countries with significant nursing shortages, and the UK, a popular destination country for Asian nurses.'
