From Internal Mobility To Global Migration: The Kerala Experience
Abstract
Migration is one of the important components of demography and population change. The changes in scale and pattern of migration have a great consequence in both areas of origin and destination; influences on social, economic, cultural, and political configuration of a society. A general definition of migration is the movement of people from one place to another either temporarily or permanently within the country and abroad. Migration from Kerala on a significant scale began within the colonial era and continued after independence. In retrospect, it is possible to discern two waves of international labour migration within each of these periods. Aim of this study is to analyse the impact of Kerala Migration on social and economic status of the society in a general point of view.
