Abstract:
Migration is well dominated phenomeneon throughout the length and breadth of India depending on various socio-economic factors. The State of Bihar with poor socio-economic scenario is the worst sufferer at the hands of migration and presently, provides workforce to every nook and corner of country. During the period 2001–2011, the socio-economic conditions of people have improved due to remittances earned by the migrants. Further, migration is becoming more and more crucial towards improving socio-economic development of poor areas of Bihar. Bihar has a high rate of out-migration particularly the male out migration rate has increased over the decade and it can be observed in both rural areas and urban areas. The present research paper identifies the trends and patterns of migration over the period 2001–2011. The study is based on secondary data sources of Migration Table (D Series), Census of India, Government of India.Keywords:

This report on emigration dynamics in India opens by providing background on short- and long-distance migration to and from India in response to such events as the formation of Pakistan as well as to the policies of the British Empire and Commonwealth. Section 2 discusses India's demographic and sociocultural setting in terms of population growth, urbanization, patterns of internal migration, growth of the labor force, economic growth, poverty alleviation, health, and education. The third section describes the lack of data on international migration. Some data are available on emigrants, but the only information on return migration is that gleaned from surveys in Kerala. Section 4 considers emigration to industrialized countries and notes that it is almost exclusively permanent and largely composed of individuals with professional, technical, or managerial skills. The resulting brain drain is described as is the incidence of illegal migration. India does not create conditions from which citizens must seek asylum, rather the country has absorbed flows of refugees from Pakistan, Tibet, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka. Available data on the characteristics of emigrants and return migrants are reviewed in the next two sections, and section 7 looks at the data on financial flows gathered from macro-level estimates of remittances. Section 8 is devoted to the community, family, and individual factors which influence emigration including the networks that facilitate migration and means of meeting migration costs. The ninth section summarizes the political setting with an emphasis on the adverse reaction of Nepal to population movement from India. The final section of the report projects future population movements. It is noted that if there were no restrictions on migration, millions of Indians would emigrate to the Americas, Africa, and Australia. Whereas poverty, unemployment, and population growth will likely erode living conditions in India, the government has no policy to encourage emigration. Labor migration to the Gulf countries will likely continue.

Since 1990 migration flows from Albania have been massive, relative to the size of the country and its population, but they have also fluctuated over time. This paper presents and discusses various descriptive trends, mainly in graphical form. The data come from the Albanian Living Standards Measurement Survey, 2005 round, and cover the period 1990-2004. The resulting observed trends reflect changing push and pull factors in Albania and the two main host countries, Greece and Italy. The paper also presents a hazard approach to modeling Albanian emigration and return migration. This analysis highlights, among other things, the relevance of networks in Albanian migration dynamics, both to promote emigration and to delay return.

This study examines how rural development in China shapes new trends in population migration. Using first-hand, village-level data from Zhejiang—an economically developed province in China—we investigated the patterns and influencing factors of population migration between rural and urban areas. We conceptualized three types of migration in rural areas: rural out-migration, rural in-migration, and rural return-migration. First-hand data were collected from 347 villages. The results show that although rural out-migration remains the dominant form of migration, rural in-migration and return-migration are also common, and the latter two are positively correlated. Further, we found evidence to support the conclusion that rural economic, social, and spatial development encourages rural in-migration and return-migration but does not have a significant impact on rural out-migration. Therefore, it is foreseeable that rural in-migration and return-migration will become increasingly common in China.

"This article begins by reviewing the previous literature pertinent to labour migration within Pakistan. Next, a migration equation at the aggregate level is specified, based on the expected socio-economic determinants of labour migration and data availability. Regression analysis was used to identify and quantify the determinants of interdistrict migration in Pakistan during the period 1971-1980. The results demonstrate that one of the major determinants of migration into a district was the percent of previous migrants in a district's population. Interdistrict migration was also significantly associated with the socio-economic variables of urbanization, population density, and literacy rates. The research presented here provides evidence that the movement of labour between districts in Pakistan is towards locations of superior socio-economic conditions."

"A new approach to migration in developing countries is used in this paper, which integrates into the migration process the experiences of moving to cities, working in urban areas, and returning to the countryside. As a result, rural labor migration is directly linked to rural development through remittances, as well as through physical and human capital brought back by return migrants. Migration information is mainly drawn from China's 1995 1% National Population Survey.... It has been found that patterns of temporary migration are mainly shaped by the magnetic force of the growth-pole region. Job opportunities created there in labor-intensive industries have attracted large numbers of migrants, first from the surrounding rural areas and then from the peripheral regions, enhancing migration propensity in both areas."

This is the first study ever attempted of the large-scale movement of population in this region. It describes the demographic aspects of the flow of millions of people both across and within national boundaries - flows that have important consequences for the distribution of resources and the social and economic development of the countries affected. The study is based on data from recent censuses and surveys - for some countries the first ever conducted - in the Gambia, Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Upper Volta. The authors discuss the volume and direction of external and internal migration in the nine countries and present the socioeconomic characteristics of migrants and nonmigrants that are apparent from the available data. The volume of the flow is considerable. From 1965 to 1975 six countries had a net gain of 1.3 million people from migration alone, while three countries experienced a net loss of 1.2 million; about 4.4 million people migrated within their respective countries. For both international and internal movements, the direction of the flow is from the interior toward the coast and from rural to urban areas, a trend that affects the regional and national development of the individual countries and contributes to the problems of urban growth. Recent migration diverges from historical patterns and reflects changes in economic opportunities and political stability in the region. Migrants tend to stay longer at their destination than in the past and are more family oriented, as shown by increases in the percentages of women and children among long-distance migrants. Other findings of the composition of migrants by age, sex, education, occupation, and so on will assist researchers and planners of economic and social policy in the countries of origin and destination.

This study analyzes how the migration pattern in Laos is influenced by the regionally differentiated modernization process, socioeconomic change, international migration and resettlement, by using census data from 1995 and 2005. Though Laos has experienced a rather dramatic socio-economic change during this period the inter-district and inter-province migration rate has decreased. But the empirical analyses show an increasing rural-urban migration and indicate a strong impact on migration from socio-economic changes. But internal migration patterns are also influenced by international migration patterns and resettlement of rural populations. Although socio-economic changes are major determinants to migration, also regional policies and opportunities for international migration are key factors influencing migration in developing countries.

In this volume various aspects of the recent increase in migration to nonmetropolitan areas of the United States are analyzed. Part 1 emphasis is on an examination of migrant characteristics including origin destination motivations and decision-making; household changes occurring as a result of migration; and migrant integration at the place of destination. In Part 2 the economic development implications of nonmetropolitan migration are considered and the potential of recent migrants to move again is assessed. In Part 3 characteristics of selected groups of migrants are examined and compared. Data were obtained from surveys of migrants and long-term residents in 75 rapidly growing counties in the North Central region of the United States.
