Abstract
Labour migration is one of the biggest socio-political issues for India for it plays an important role in the process of economic development and social transformation. This study tried to shed light on the effect of labour migration on the education of the children left-behind. Overall, this study shows positive effect of migration on the education of the left-behind children. Age is found to be the main determinant of years of schooling validating the fact that legal framework is mainly responsible for the years of schooling in the age group 6-14 years. The study also indicates that children in migrant households are expected to get more education because of their stronger financial support but children in larger household-size are expected to get fewer years of schooling because they need to support more children with their limited income. Moreover, children who enjoy learning and get the help of a tutor are expected to get more years of schooling. On the contrary, children, who are forced economically or socially to do paid work, generally get the chance of fewer years of schooling as compared to the children who don’t need to do paid work.
