Migration research in India has largely focussed on interstate migration and less on migration at the district level. While employment has been the single largest factor of interstate out-migration, migration due to education is rising. Using data from the Census of India 2001, this chapter estimates the interstate out-migration rate in the districts of India. It tests the hypothesis that development disparity is positively associated with the level of interstate out-migration in the districts of India. We have used the Primary Census Abstract (PCA), D-series data and household data from the Census of India. The district is the unit of analyses. Descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, composite index and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression have been used in the analyses. |
