Internal Migration And Socio-Economic Development: Implications and Development; Quantum Discovery Literary Agency. Sandiego,  CA, USA.
Author Prabhakara Narasandra 

This book is about Internal migration and economic development.

In recent years, several changes in India are likely to have impacted on the pattern and pace of migration. The pattern of growth in the last two decades has steadily widened the gap between agriculture and non-agriculture and between rural and urban areas, and it has steadily concentrated in a few areas and a few states. The growing spatial inequalities in economic opportunities must have necessarily also impacted on the pace and pattern of migration. Uneven growth and a growing differential between agriculture and industry is a necessary condition of the pattern of development.  Since migration is diverse, attention has generally been focused on different groups of internal migration, and a great deal of analysis has focused on the poorest segments, for whom both the cost and benefits could potentially be the highest.

This study presents the trends and patterns of internal migration during the last here decades and argues that people belonging to the lowest socio-economic categories are less migratory than otherwise.
