This month the SHRAM Bulletin focusses on Migration and Remittances. Remittances commonly refer to the flow of private unrequited transfer of money from migrants’ earnings outside their country of origin, back into their home country. Migrant remittances have recently surged to the forefront of development agendas worldwide, forming a very important component of a nation’s balance of payments, especially for developing countries like India. The impact of remittances is recognized in all developing regions of the universe, forming an important stream of foreign currency to most states and directly reaching millions of families – around 10 percent of the world’s population. This month the SHRAM Bulletin features an exclusive interview with Irudaya Rajan on “The Changing Dynamics of Migration in Kerala”. The SHRAM Publication section features Reports by Aajevika Bureau on Impact of Male Migration on Women in South Rajasthan.

2. Impact of Male Migration on Women in South Rajasthan
Aajeevika Bureau
The starting point of this study has been the growing realization that a very large number of families in the tribal dominated South Rajasthan region have to cope with long term and frequent absence of adult male members. This growing phenomenon is an outcome of the large scale and all-pervasive migration of men for securing a livelihood in locations away from their villages in this region.

1. The Remittance Market in India
World Bank
In many developing countries, remittances are an important source of family and national income and also are the largest source of external financing. Remittances are better targeted at the needs of the poor than foreign aid or foreign direct investment (FDI), as recipients often depend on remittances to cover daily living expenses, to provide a cushion against emergencies, or to make small investments in business or education.

2. Domestic Migration and Remittances in India: A Study of Rajasthani Tribal Migrants working in Gujarat.
Mahendra Prasad Joshi, Marylin Williams,J. Howard M. Jones
The study confirms the pervasiveness of domestic migration and remittances, and the exclusion of the poorer tribal migrants from the banking system. Most migrants interviewed were in paid employment, largely in the construction and service sectors. Although such work is usually regarded as menial and low paid, there was some evidence of occupational mobility and advancement.
