Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a very important role in the development of the nation. It is very much vital in the case of underdeveloped and developing countries. A typical characteristic of these developing and underdeveloped economies is the fact that these economies do not have the needed level of savings and income in order to meet the required level of investment needed to sustain the growth of the economy. In such cases, foreign direct investment plays an important role in bridging the gap between the available resources or funds and the required resources or funds. It plays an important role in the long-term development of a country not only as a source of capital, but also for enhancing competitiveness of the domestic economy through transfer of technology, strengthening infrastructure, raising productivity and generating new employment opportunities. In India, FDI is considered as a developmental tool, which helps in achieving self-reliance in various sectors and in the overall development of the economy. India after liberalizing and globalizing the economy to the outside world in 1991, there was a massive increase in the flow of foreign direct investment. The present paper attempts to analyze the significance of the FDI Inflows in Indian service sector since 1991 and relating the growth of service sector FDI in the generation of employment in terms of skilled and unskilled. The services sector is not only the dominant sector in India’s GDP, but has also attracted significant foreign investment flows, contributed significantly to exports as well as provided large-scale employment. India’s services sector covers a wide variety of activities such as trade, hotel and restaurants, transport, storage and communication, financing, insurance, real estate, business services, community, social and personal services, and services associated with construction.

Significant Factors

The paper analyses international flows and effects of a form of investment capital in case of China. Apart from the fact that they are a form of imports of foreign savings as a source of investment capital, foreign direct investments are rightly considered one of the potentially most significant factors of economic growth and international transfer of technology and knowledge. The empirical research has confirmed that such their potential, this also including the degree of its utilization, depends on the absorption capacity of the host country. China has recorded the greatest rates of economic growth in the last decade and its response to challenges of the global economic crisis has been the most successful. Also, China is the largest investment area in the world and the inflow of foreign direct investments is very significant, resulting from the attractiveness of the Chinese economy itself and measures for attracting foreign investments. The Chinese experience with the effects of foreign direct investment has been multiple, being both positive and negative, and it is very useful for other countries. On the other side, Chinese investments abroad have recorded fast growth rates, although their scope is still small in comparison to those of the most developed countries and they are present only in trade flows.

The Second High-Level United Nations (UN) Conference on South-South Cooperation (also known as BAPA+40), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 20 to 22 March 2019, promised to reinvigorate efforts to further achieve and implement South-South cooperation (SSC). Forty years on, the Global South is shaping its image as a solutions provider. Immense strides have been made in improving access to allow a multitude of state and non-state actors to cooperate, while broadening and deepening modes of cooperation and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and transfer of technology, thus moving beyond the simplistic view that developing countries require aid to function and move forward. However, noting these symbolic strides, the Global South should move forward by building understanding of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks; integrating multi-stakeholder models; improving the visibility of peace and security in South-South programming; and building effective communications systems.
