Most women migrate due to marriage, and distance is a critical factor in determining the gender gap in migration for work and education.

New Delhi:
India’s migration patterns are skewed on more than one count. Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have a disproportionately high number of out-migrants, while migrants constitute more than one-third of the population in metros like Delhi and Mumbai.

Most women migrate due to marriage, and distance is a critical factor in determining the gender gap in migration for work and education.

1. As widely believed, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are responsible for the most migrants. According to the 2011 Census, 20.9 million people migrated outside the state from the two states. This is 37% of the total number of people who were inter-state migrants according to that enumeration. Data on migrants from Census 2011 has just become available.

2. Delhi and Mumbai are widely considered migrant magnets and the 2011 Census bears that out. According to it migrants from other states in Delhi and Mumbai numbered 9.9 million, or almost a third of the combined population of 29.2 million in these two metropolises that year.

3. The Hindi belt is the main source of migrants. According to the census, four states, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh accounted for 50% of India’s total inter-state migrants. On the other side, Maharashtra, Delhi, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana housed 50% of the country’s inter-state migrants. These shares are much higher than the share of these states in India’s total population. Interestingly, Uttar Pradesh figures in both lists – while there are people who leave it in search of livelihoods, there are also clearly people who head for it in search of livelihoods.

4. Between 2001 and 2011, there was an increase in the growth rate of migrants headed for other destinations within their own states as compared to those headed outward. The number of so-called inter-state migrants grew at 55% between the 1991 and the 2001 Census. This came down to just 33% between the 2001 and 2011 Census. In contrast, the rate of growth in so-called inter-district migrants (within the same state) increased from 30% between the 1991 and 2001 census to 58% between 2001 and 2011. Not only are people moving within states, they are moving within districts. The growth in intra-district migration (movement within the same district) increased from 33% to 45% between 1991-2001 and 2001-11. Evidently, people are finding better opportunities closer home than they were before.
