    The Book

    The concept of ‘Migration’ has always been important in understanding the social structure, demographic studies and cultural variance. ‘Migration’ reflects the trends of contemporary social changes. The study of Migration co-relates the asymmetry in economic development to the permanent or semi-permanent changes of residence or settlement. I have meticulously tried to take into consideration all the relevant parameters that directly or indirectly affect the process of migration. The parameters have beautifully been co-related with trends of migration within country or across the globe. The book  “Migration: Magnitude, Direction and Impact” is worth reading and pondering for a variety of readers like researchers, planners, teachers and readers of varied interest.
