What's Inside


The key findings of the Periodic Labour Force Survey report titled Migration in India July 2020-June 2021 (released on June 14, 2022), which has been prepared by National Statistical Office (NSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), are as follows (please click here and here to access): 

• The fieldwork of PLFS was suspended first time from 18.03.2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic, and was resumed in June 2020 with the pending samples for this period. This, therefore, had a spillover effect in completion of field work allotted for the survey period July 2020 to June 2021. Subsequently, there was another spill-over effect due to the 2nd wave of COVID-19 when the field work of PLFS was again suspended in April 2021 in most parts of the country. The field work was gradually resumed in the first week of June 2021 with COVID-19 related restrictions.

• The Periodic Labour Force Survey covered 59,019 migrants (rural male: 7,238 and rural female: 51,781) in rural areas and 54,979 migrants (urban male: 17,654 and urban female: 37,325) in urban areas.  

• The PLFS covered 1,550 temporary visitors in rural areas (rural male: 960 and rural female: 590) and 851 temporary visitors in urban areas (urban male: 450 and urban female: 401). For temporary visitors, the present place of residence (where he/she was residing temporarily) differed from their usual place of residence.

• The migration rate was higher in urban areas (34.9 percent) as compared to rural areas (26.5 percent). The rate of migration was higher among females (rural females: 48.0 percent; urban females: 47.8 percent) in comparison to males (rural males: 5.9 percent; urban males: 22.5 percent) in both rural and urban areas. 
 
• For male migrants in rural areas, the location of last usual place of residence was rural areas for 44.6 percent of them, urban areas for 51.6 percent of them, and another country for 3.9 percent of them. 

• For female migrants in rural areas, the location of last usual place of residence was rural areas for 88.8 percent of them, urban areas for 11.0 percent of them, and another country for 0.2 percent of them. 

• For male migrants in urban areas, the location of last usual place of residence was rural areas for 53.7 percent of them, urban areas for 44.1 percent of them, and another country for 2.3 percent of them. 

• For female migrants in urban areas, the location of last usual place of residence was rural areas for 54.0 percent of them, urban areas for 45.6 percent of them, and another country for 0.4 percent of them. 

• Around 46.4 percent of male internal migrants in rural areas came from rural areas and the rest i.e., 53.6 percent came from urban areas.  

• Roughly 89.0 percent of female internal migrants in rural areas came from rural areas and the rest i.e., 11.0 percent came from urban areas.  

• Almost 54.8 percent of male internal migrants in urban areas came from rural areas and the rest i.e., 45.2 percent came from urban areas.  

• About 54.3 percent of female internal migrants in urban areas came from rural areas and the rest i.e., 45.7 percent came from urban areas.  

• The main reasons for migration among male migrants were: in search of employment/ better employment (22.8 percent); for employment/ work -- to take up employment/ to take up better employment/ business/ proximity to place of work/ transfer (20.1 percent); migration of parent/ earning member of the family (17.5 percent); and loss of job/ closure of unit/ lack of employment opportunities (6.7 percent).

• The main reasons for migration among female migrants were: marriage (86.8 percent); migration of parent/ earning member of the family (7.3 percent); housing problem (0.8 percent); and for employment/ work -- to take up employment/ to take up better employment/ business/ proximity to place of work/ transfer (0.7 percent).

• The percentage share of male migrants who migrated after March 2020 in total migrants was 12.4 percent in rural areas, 5.6 percent in urban areas, and 8.3 at the national level.

• The percentage share of female migrants who migrated after March 2020 in total migrants was 1.8 percent in rural areas, 2.3 percent in urban areas, and 2.0 at the national level.

• The percentage share of migrants who migrated after March 2020 in total migrants was 3.0 percent in rural areas, 3.4 percent in urban areas and 3.1 at the national level.

• The percentage of temporary visitors in the population residing temporarily in a place different from usual place of residence was 0.7 percent -- 0.7 percent in rural areas (male: 0.9 percent; female: 0.5 percent) and 0.6 percent in urban areas (male: 0.6 percent; female: 0.6 percent).

Important concepts

• Usual Place of Residence (UPR) of a person is the place (village/town) where the person has been staying continuously for at least six months. Even if a person was not staying in the village/town continuously for six but was found to be staying there during the survey with intention to stay there continuously for six months or more then that place was as his/her UPR.

• Migrants are those whose last usual place of residence is different from the present place of enumeration. Usual place of residence is the place (village/town) where the person stayed continuously for a period of 6 months or more or intends to stay for 6 months of more.

• Migration rate for any category of person (say, for rural or urban, male or female), is the percentage of migrants belonging to that category of persons.

• For the purpose of this survey, temporary visitors in the household are those persons who arrived after March 2020 and stayed in the household continuously for a period of 15 days or more but less than 6 months.
