This book, with articles by leading experts and researchers, explores the ongoing concerns of labor migration in India in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It studies various aspects such as:

  • impact of COVID-19 pandemic on rural migrants
  • gender implications of agrarian change and labor migration in out-migrating states
  • geography of out-migrant husbands of women left behind home
  • processes of international labor out-migration and remittances
  • occupational mobility of migrants
  • social exclusion, discrimination, and identity crisis of migrants in urban slums
  • vulnerability of low-skilled migrants at the urban destinations and the implications of short-term economic shocks like demonetization and COVID-led lockdown and
  • sociological implications of development, distress, and youth migration in India

Drawing on integrative frameworks that combine primary research and secondary sources from a variety of disciplines, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of demography, economics, development studies, public policy, sociology, and geography.
