dc.description.abstract |
In India, migration from rural areas is an important issue that is
gaining more significance year after year. Moreover, the extent, nature,
characteristics and pattern of migration have been evolving over time.
In fact, the growing part of the migration taking place is seasonal and
cyclical in nature. Seasonal or short duration migration is certainly not
a new phenomenon in India. However, the magnitude of rural labour
circulation is of recent origin, and a direct consequence of structural
changes in the economy. Seasonal or circular migration could be largely
distress driven and stimulated by the partial or complete collapse of
rural employment generation, economic difficulties of cultivation and
absence of alternative employment opportunities in underdeveloped
regions of the country. In reality, it has become an integral part of
livelihood strategies pursued by a large number of poor people living in
agriculturally underdeveloped areas. In this context, the present paper
focuses on examining the nature and characteristics of seasonal migrant
households. It also aims on to evaluate the form of migration, and finally
analyses the migrants’ wages, work conditions and the expenditure
pattern of earnings from migration. The study analysis is based on a
primary level survey conducted in mid 2006 in Mahabubnagar district
of Andhra Pradesh, India. The study reveals that migration from the
village is essentially seasonal and cyclical in nature, and differs for both
rural and urban migrants. Indeed, it is taking place mainly for survival
and repayment of debts. |
