This book examines international out-migration from North India,
focusing on the state of Punjab. It is the first-ever empirical
exploration of the causes, processes, patterns and consequences of
international out-migration based on a robust sample of 10,000
households drawn from both rural and urban areas. The volume
explores a range of issues such as current migration, return
migration, remittances, reverse remittances, diaspora philanthropy,
migration consultancy services, international marriages, campaigns
for safe migration abroad and plans for emigration in future. It
also addresses questions surrounding the use of paid labour by
households to replace the work done by the emigrants and studies
villages as the migration setting. Additionally, the book
organically links to a well-spread-out and vibrant Punjabi
diaspora, as well as providing viable baseline data on a range of
indicators. A key text on migration studies, this volume will be of
great interest to scholars and researchers of development studies,
economics, demography, sociology, social anthropology and diaspora
studies.
