A better pay would lure more than a quarter employees in India to relocate overseas for a full-time job, according to a poll by market research firm Ipsos. Around 28% employees have a strong desire to go abroad for two to three years with a 10% pay increase.
The poll pointed that another 39% would consider the option given an opportunity, 3 out of 10 Indian employees said that they are "very likely" to relocate to another city in India if they were offered a full-time job opportunity in the near future. This, however, had to be accompanied by a 10% pay raise and all moving expenses covered.
The Ipsos poll further stated that 2 in 10 employees (19%) in 24 countries would be "very likely" to take a full-time job in another country for two to three years with a 10% pay increase. Those most likely to say they would relocate internationally were from Mexico (34%), Brazil (32%), Russia (31%), Turkey (31%) and India (28%).
“It is interesting to observe that employees from developed countries are least likely to relocate compared to employees in developing countries,” said Biswarup Banerjee, Head of Marketing Communications, Ipsos in India.
He added that this clearly indicated that employees in developed countries still believed that their national economy will rebound strongly and provide them enough good job opportunities to grow in future.
It has been noticed that globally, those with low income (32%), low education (31%), people under 35 (30%), not married (30%), men (29%) and senior executive or decision maker at their work (29%) appeared most likely to relocate to a new city.
The incentives that global employees considered for moving abroad included a guaranteed option to return to their current role after two years, 10% pay increase round trip tickets to visit home and paid language training if necessary. The poll further revealed that the other top reasons for relocation better living conditions international experience, a new adventure and to have a fresh start.
