It studies various aspects such as: - impact of COVID-19 pandemic on rural migrants; - gender implications of agrarian change and labour migration in out-migrating states; - geography of out-migrant husbands of women left behind home; - processes of international labour 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.
