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.
In this important and timely book, researchers from different
countries compare their experiences and offer contrasting views on
the future of social protection. They consider the theoretical
aspects of the intergenerational debate, relations between
generations within the family, the living standards of elderly
people, and the question of social time. For the first time in
history, three and sometimes four generations are living at the
same time; this book examines the new interactions between family
change, labour force participation and population ageing.
Our societies are ageing. The Family is changing. Labour force
behaviour is evolving. How is the organisation of family and
collective solidarity adapting in this context of longer life
spans, low fertility, and work that is simultaneously scarce and
abundant?The welfare states are currently facing three main
challenges: ensure satisfactory living conditions for the elderly
without increasing the cost burden on the active population, reduce
social inequality, and maintain equity between successive
generations. In this book, researchers from different countries
compare their experiences and offer contrasting views on the future
of social protection. They consider the theoretical aspects of the
intergenerational debate, relations between generations within the
family, the living standards of elderly people, and the question of
social time."
