Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: April, 01 , 2005

Migration literature has always considered environmental constraints as one of the prime movers of populations, especially from dry regions, where water rather than land is the primary limiting factor.

Data is analyzed from three dryland districts in Gujarat from a survey of over one thousand households. [SANDEE Working Paper No. 10-05].
