Resumen

Desde 1990, el número de inmigrantes de la Índia en el sur de Europa ha aumentado considerablemente con flujos de inmigrantes irregulares. Una gran proporción de ellos no son elegibles para ocupaciones formales y trabajan en la economía sumergida, donde no tienen derechos laborales y acceso a servicios formales de protección social. Su seguridad social depende completamente de su red transnacional de parientes o amigos y asociaciones sociales o religiosas, que los ayudan durante los períodos de desempleo, a resolver problemas legales con la administración de acogida y en situación de enfermedad. Basado en observaciones etnográficas y 86 entrevistas en profundidad con inmigrantes indios en España (36) e Italia (33) y sus familiares en India (17), este articulo identifica, primero, las principales vulnerabilidades de los inmigrantes indios en el país de origen y en ambos destinos (España e Italia); segundo, describe el "entorno de recursos" de los inmigrantes indios y sus estrategias para abordar sus riesgos sociales que afectan negativamente sus condiciones de vida; por último, analiza el papel de las redes transnacionales y las políticas de la diáspora para responder a las necesidades de los inmigrantes irregulares de origen indio y sus familias en la India. Los resultados muestran que los familiares de los inmigrantes, las redes sociales y las asociaciones comunitarias desempeñan un papel vital en la provisión de seguridad social a los inmigrantes de la India que se encuentran de forma irregular en el sur de Europa y que generalmente no son atendidos por los esquemas formales de protección social.
