Geospatial dynamics and socio-economic impacts of labour migration: A comparative study across urban and rural regions

Abstract

Labour migration significantly affects the socio-economic landscapes of both origin and destination regions. This research explores the geospatial dynamics and socio-economic impacts of labour migration, comparing urban and rural contexts. Using data from various countries, especially India, the study examines migration patterns, economic contributions, demographic changes, and social transformations. Findings reveal distinct differences in the causes, consequences, and policy implications of labour migration between urban and rural areas, highlighting the need for tailored approaches in migration management. The study utilizes a comparative approach to understand the factors influencing migration patterns and the consequences of such movements on the economies and societies of these regions.
