The book fills a critical gap in migration research by studying migration from various Indian states, such as Tamil Nadu, Telugu-speaking states (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh), Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. It also studies an unexpected phenomenon of multiple openings of demographic window of economic opportunity (not documented in demographic literature) observed in a few Arab countries due to heavy return of old-aged migrant expatriates to their home country, the impact of international out-migration on intergenerational educational mobility among children in migrant-sending households in Kerala and forced migration of Kerala Muslims to the Gulf.weiterlesen
