Impact of migration on economic and social development in India

Abstract

This article does a literature analysis on the economic and social consequences of migration in India. International migration is a rapidly rising issue with significant developmental consequences for both sending and receiving nations. For the sending nation, migration and the remittances it generates result in greater income and poverty reduction, as well as better health and educational results, all of which contribute to economic growth. Nonetheless, these improvements may come at a significant social cost to migrants and their families. Due to the fact that many developing nations are also significant receivers of international migrants, they confront integration issues, employment rivalry between migrant and indigenous employees, and budgetary expenditures connected with providing social services to migrants. Additionally, this report includes statistics provided by the Indian government about various migratory events that occurred in the country during the last several years.
