Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Economics, Business and Management - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract:Migration is a global phenomenon. Migration is a major demographic process that has been an integral and salient feature of human history since the time immemorial. Migration is a movement from one place to another, permanent or semi-permanent. When a person leaves his native place or village, comes to an urban/rural area, takes up a job and starts living there, he is known as a migrant and his move is referred as a migration. It has been an important means by which human civilization has spread out, enriching cultures, disseminating ideas and generating social, political and economic changes at the places of origin and of destination. Migrants have been coming to Punjab ever since opportunities in agriculture were created by the state’s agricultural leap forward. Town and villages of Punjab are the destination of large-scale spatial mobility of un-skilled population from rural areas of backward states especially Utter Pardesh and Bihar. These migrants reach Punjab from all over the country individually as well as in groups with or without the help of contractors or agents. Keywords:Migration, Non-agriculture Sector, Labour, Manufacturing Sector, Living condition.
