The SHRAM Bulletin this month focusses on the Influx of Migration in Kerala. The number of migrants to the Gulf region and the pattern of migration in the last forty years has changed drastically. Migration has been a significant factor in reducing poverty, unemployment and relative deprivation in Kerala. The other very observant phenomenon is the inter-state migration happening in Kerala which means a lot of unskilled labour is coming to the state. There has been a steady migration to the Gulf countries, different parts of India and the world. Kerala is also at the cross-road of a transition and the consequences (positive and negative) of migration would play an important role in shaping the future of Kerala. The SHRAM Publication section features two interviews that specifically focusses on Kerala Migration. One is with Professor Irudaya Rajan from Centre for Development Studies and the other one is with Prof.Binitha Thampi from IIT, Madras.

1. Migration, Remittances and Left-behind Members in Home Labour Market: Evidence from Kerala
Mohd Imran Khan, Valatheeswaran C
The study examines the impact of international migration on the labour supply behaviour of male and female left behind members both in market and non-market work. After controlling the potential endogeneity using the instrument variable (IV-Probit) approach, estimates show that the supply of male and female left-behind members decreases in the market work. There is an evidence of relocation of labour supply of male left-behind members from salary and casual wage work to self-employment, in response to a migrant member abroad.

2. The Socio-economic Status of Migrant Workers in Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala, India
Dilip Saikia
This paper examines the socio-economic condition of the migrant workers in Kerala. We analyse the income, consumption and savings pattern, and nature of work of the migrant workers in the Thiruvananthapuram district, based on data from a sample of 166 migrant workers. While existing studies provide evidences for short distance migration to Kerala from nearby states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, we find evidence for long distance migration from states like West Bengal and Assam in recent years. We find that informal information networks through migrant workers from native place plays important role in migration of workers to Kerala.
