Labour Miqration in India

The empirical literature on internal migration has typically
found that propensity to migrate decreases with age and with
distance between points of origin and destination. and increases
with education or skill.

Distance is assumed to serve as a proxy

for both the psychic costs of movement and the availability of
information.

Also, migration studies find income at the point of

origin to be negatively related to the propensity to migrate and
income at the point of destination is positively related.

Limitations of the Study

Given the magnitude of the problem and complexity of the issues

Following critical limitations of the

study are to be borne in mind :
a.

b.

occupation-specific -

Hence it need not be representative of
