India Migration Report 2015: Gender and Migration

India Migration Report 2015 explores migration and its crucial linkages with gender. This volume:

• studies important issues such as irregular migration, marriage migration and domestic labour migration, as well as the interconnections of migration, gender and caste;

• highlights the relationship between economics and changing gender dynamics brought about by migration; and

• documents first-hand experiences of migrants from across India.

Part of the prestigious annual series, this work will be useful to scholars and researchers of development studies, economics, migration and diaspora studies, and sociology. It will also interest policy-makers and government institutions working in the area.
