Nature and Characteristics of Seasonal Labour Migration : A Case Study in Mahabubnagar District of Andhra Pradesh
Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: July, 17 , 2010In India, migration from rural areas is an important issue that is
gaining more significance year after year. Moreover, the extent, nature,
characteristics and pattern of migration have been evolving over time.
In fact, the growing part of the migration taking place is seasonal and
cyclical in nature. Seasonal or short duration migration is certainly not
a new phenomenon in India. However, the magnitude of rural labour
circulation is of recent origin, and a direct consequence of structural
changes in the economy. [Working Paper No.433]
