This book, with articles by leading experts and researchers, explores the ongoing concerns of labour migration in India in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It studies various aspects such as: impact of COVID-19 pandemic on rural migrants; gender implications of agrarian change and labour migration in out-migrating states; geography of out-migrant husbands of women left behind home; processes of international labour out-migration and remittances; occupational mobility of migrants; social exclusion, discrimination and identity crisis of migrants in urban slums; vulnerability of low-skilled migrants at the urban destinations and the implications of short-term economic shocks like demonetization and COVID-led lockdown and sociological implications of development, distress and youth migration in India. Drawing on integrative frameworks that combine primary research and secondary sources from a variety of disciplines, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of demography, economics, development studies, public policy, sociology and geography.Binding: Hardback
