Caribbean Single Market Economy (CSME) and the Intra-Regional Migration of Nurses

Abstract: CARICOM as a small regional trading agreement is characterized by economies with differing degrees of development. This article reviews the differing economic attributes of these various CARICOM states and then discusses in detail how the intra-regional movement of skilled workers (such as nurses) can help to solve some of the regional shortages of skills which exists for this category of workers. The article argues that this type of skilled worker movement can provide considerable benefits for migrant nurses … Show more

“…The health system is thus able to integrate cheaper and possibly more submissive labour without incurring the costs involved in educating and training that labour (though some adaptation costs can arise). At the same time, many governments across the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Middle East are responding to the global nurse shortage by "producing nurses for export" (Buchan, Kingma and Lorenzo, 2005;Hosein and Thomas, 2007;Thomas, Hosein and Yan, 2005;Yeates, 2009). This production often forms part of a wider economic development strategy to promote labour exports.…”

“…De este modo, el sistema sanitario puede hacerse con un personal más barato y, posiblemente, más dócil sin incurrir en los gastos necesarios para proporcionarle instrucción y formación (aunque haya algunos costos de adaptación). Al mismo tiempo, debido al déficit mundial de estas trabajadoras muchos Estados del Caribe, África, Asia y Oriente Medio están «produciendo enfermeras para la exportación» (Buchan, Kingma y Lorenzo, 2005;Hosein y Thomas, 2007;Thomas, Hosein y Yan, 2005, y Yeates, 2009; generalmente ello forma parte de una estrategia general de desarrollo económico que fomenta la exportación de fuerza de trabajo. Cabe recordar que las remesas de los migrantes engrosan las reservas nacionales de divisas, ayudan a los Estados a pagar su deuda y a obtener nuevos préstamos, y reavivan la economía al promover el consumo, la inversión y la actividad (así como los beneficios) de los establecimientos de formación, las agencias de contratación y las agencias de viajes.…”

“…plus malléable, sans avoir à investir dans l'éducation et la formation de ces travailleurs, même si cela suppose parfois certains coûts d'adaptation. Parallèlement, de nombreux gouvernements d'Afrique, d'Asie, des Caraïbes et du Moyen-Orient contribuent à combler la pénurie mondiale de personnel infirmier en formant leurs ressortissants à ces professions, avec l'émigration en perspective (Buchan, Kingma et Lorenzo, 2005;Hosein et Thomas, 2007;Thomas, Hosein et Yan, 2005;Yeates, 2009). Ces politiques s'inscrivent dans le cadre d'une stratégie gouvernementale plus large favorisant l'exportation de la main-d'oeuvre à des fins de développement économique.…”
