Viewing migration in the context of urbanisation, the volume deals with a number of issues like patterns of migration, the migration-urbanisation link, poverty, and processes and policies relating to migration. Analysing in detail the 1991 and 2001 census data, it emphasises upon human dimensions of migration problems. It brings out the causal links between migration, urbanisation and regional disparities across the country, focusing on issues like poverty-induced migration, poverty in the rural areas, urban decay, growth of slums in cities, the growing menace of corruption and increasing social and regional disparities. It comes up with development policies and strategies that have been devised and need to be worked out for ushering in an egalitarian society for poor migrants and other groups.
