This volume is an empirical assessment of an often-neglected space
in migration research - social, psychological and human costs for
both migrants and the families they leave behind - based on
qualitative and quantitative research findings. Globally, the focus
of migration research has consisted of the intersections of
migration and remittances. This overemphasis on remittances
obscures the contributions and sacrifices made by migrants and
their families. With this backdrop in view, India Migration Report
2013 documents issues such as: * Children's negotiation of parental
migration * Coping mechanisms adopted by women left behind *
Utilization of social networks by the elderly during a health
crisis * Demographic implications of migration * Household
management and child care by spouses of migrant nurses * Lifestyle
management by the elderly, who migrate with their children, in the
absence of other traditional and familiar kinship structures *
Transition costs involved in peasant migration * Social costs of
migration in the case of emigration to the Gulf region * Broader
impacts of migration on the family In addition, the book also
includes articles dealing with nurses' migration, skilled mobility,
informalization of labour markets, mobility of women workers,
global financial crisis and return migration, remittances
management and a critical assessment of bilateral mobility
agreements among nations to protect Indian workers. It will be of
interest to those in migration studies, sociology, law, economics,
gender studies, diaspora studies, international relations and
demography, apart from non-governmental organizations,
policy-makers and governmental institutions working in the field of
migration.
