To better understand the growing role of internationally mobile human capital on local and global politics and economies, this symposium will bring leading scholars, policymakers and business leaders from around the world to examine the circulation of high-skilled ("knowledge") workers from India and China to and from the New Jersey-Pennsylvania-New York region, and its impact on the source countries and the receiving region.



The symposium will be held at Princeton University and composed of two sessions:


Session 1 (7 to 10 am, EST on Thursday, December 7) will examine how the flow of knowledge workers affects India and China, primary source countries for the migration. The focus will be on the impact of the Indian and Chinese Diaspora and returnees on the economies of India and China. The research presentations will be at Princeton and the discussion about them will be held live, via video-conference, with leading figures in the field in both New Delhi, India and Shanghai, China.



Session 2 (9 am to 4 pm, EST on Friday, December 8) will tackle the economic and political impact of the flow of knowledge workers on the New Jersey-Pennsylvania-New York region. Discussions will also deal with how federal and regional immigration policies affect the movement of knowledge workers to and from the US and among employers here.
