Abstract

ABSTRACT Local migrant organization is an emerging phenomenon in many emigrant countries, where such an organization is formed and run by current or former migrants and engages in a range of philanthropic activities for community development. Research on migrant organizations tends to focus either on immigrant organizations located in the host countries or on transnational migrant organizations engaged in diaspora philanthropy with origin country. Contrary to mainstream research on migrant organizations, this paper looks at the local migrant organizations and their engagements in emigrant countries through a case study in India. Drawing on selected local migrant organizations that cater to healthcare needs in India, this paper investigates how they evolve and mobilize resources, what sort of healthcare activities they are carrying out, and how such collective efforts are contributing to the healthcare needs for the underserved community. This study reports that local migrant organizations tend to be small and resource-poor, but they reach out to the Indian periphery and serve the underprivileged sections of the society.

周边地区的当地移民组织:在印度提供医疗保健
摘要地方移民组织是许多移民国家的一种新兴现象,该组织由现任或前任移民组建和运营,并从事一系列促进社区发展的慈善活动。对移民组织的研究往往侧重于位于东道国的移民组织,或与原籍国一起从事侨民慈善事业的跨国移民组织。与主流的移民组织研究相反,本文通过对印度的案例研究,考察了移民国家的地方移民组织及其参与情况。本文以满足印度医疗保健需求的当地移民组织为样本,调查了他们如何发展和调动资源,他们正在开展什么样的医疗保健活动,以及这些集体努力如何为服务不足社区的医疗保健需求做出贡献。这项研究报告称,当地移民组织往往规模较小,资源匮乏,但它们向印度周边地区伸出援手,为社会弱势群体服务。
