By: Mitra, Arup and Shrivastav, Puneet Kumar.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Economic and Political Weekly Description: 59(1), Jan 6, 2024: p.47-54. In: Economic and Political WeeklySummary: Based on the Periodic Labour Force Survey (2020–21), this study focuses on the migration data and tries to delineate certain broad characteristics of the migrant population. Negating some of the commonly held views that less advantaged individuals migrate more frequently than their counterparts, significant departures are noted after the pandemic. Not just the casual labourers, even the regular wage earners suffered seriously during the pandemic and the lockdown. The sudden crisis and the severity of job loss, particularly in the urban areas, which forced many to shift to their native residences are the main reasons of their unwillingness to move out in the future from their current locations.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/1/special-articles/understanding-migration-behaviour-india%C2%A0-plfs-data.html
