The SHRAM Bulletin this month focusses on Feminization of Migration. Increasing feminization of migration in general and from South Asia in particular has spurred new issues and poses new challenges relating to institutions, processes and outcomes associated with female migration. Increasing remittances by women migrants have reframed the development narratives in some countries, such as Nepal and Sri Lanka. The majority of male migrants are engaged in production and construction. Women, on the other hand, are disproportionately engaged in the service sector in care and entertainment services. The SHRAM Publication section features two reports from Aajeevika Bureau one on “Studies, Stories and a Canvas Seasonal Labor Migration and Migrant Workers from Odisha” and the other titled “Whats on the Menu? Understanding Food Habits and Challenges of Migrant Workers in Ahmedabad”.

2. Whats on the Menu? Understanding Food Habits and Challenges of Migrant Workers in Ahmedabad
Aajeevika Bureau
This study focuses on the migrant workers of rural Rajasthan and their food habits. Migration imposes many constraints on the preparation and consumption of food; which we try to understand and suggest possible interventions which allow the migrants to have better access to wholesome food at a reasonable cost. Food, one of the three basic physical and social needs, is something that is common to all people, yet it can signify differently from person to person, community to community and culture to culture.

1. Rural-Urban Female Migration in Bangladesh: Need for Information Support and Institutional Responses
Mohammed Mamun Rashid
This paper portrays lives and livelihoods scenario of female associated with rural urban migration in Bangladesh. The techniques deplored are the interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) methods in collecting data. Internal migration of female has been increased with complexity. This micro level study finds that possible female migrants are enticed, in many cases, with promises of a better life and dream in cities due to lack of information.

2. Gender and Migration
Nicola Piper
Scholarly research on migration has also changed considerably in the past decade, with women-centred research shifting more toward the analysis of gender. This change in focus reflects two important developments: 1. scholars have succeeded in bringing female migration out of the shadows in many disciplines; 2. migration is now viewed as a gendered phenomenon that requires more sophisticated theoretical and analytical tools than sex as a dichotomous variable
