Book Summary of Migration, Identity And Conflict
As India prepares to count its citizens for the 2011 Census with a proposal for a National Population Register and a unique identity card for every Indian citizen, the debate on internal migration and cross-border international migration is highly appropriate. This, the second volume in the annual series, India Migration Report, focuses on the implications of internal migration, livelihood strategies, recruitment processes, and development and policy concerns in critically reviewing the existing institutional framework.
The essays provide a district-level analysis of the various facets of migration with a focus on employment networks, gender dimensions and migration-development linkages, with concrete policy suggestions to improve living and working conditions of vulnerable migrant workers who are a lifeline to the growth of the Indian economy.
