Abstract "Migration has emerged as an important issue in the contemporary global politics and in the discourse around human development. This book highlights the role of migration in socio-economic development and its interdependence with urbanization, employment, labour, and industry. This volume identifies the challenges which migration, and the subsequent dynamism in population and spatial parameters pose to land-use patterns, ecology, social politics and international relations. Through a study of migration patterns and trends in different parts of India, this collection analyses the relationship of migration with social and occupational mobility, poverty and wealth indices, inequality, distribution of resources and demographic change. It also explores policy measures and frameworks which can bring migration into the fold of national development strategies. Timely and comprehensive, the book underscores the importance of migration and urbanization, sustainability and inclusivity to economic growth and development. It will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of migration studies, political studies, sociology, urban studies, development studies and political sociology"-- Provided by publisher.
