It explores processes, determinants, and impacts of migration on diverse populations in the Odisha state based on the Odisha Migration Study 2023. It explores a wide range of issues through the lens of migration, including education, work and employment, livelihoods and income, access to government programs, housing and amenities, land and asset ownership, food security, women's autonomy and mobility, gender health and well-being, and youth aspirations and attitudes towards agriculture. The book underscores the crucial role of migration as a livelihood strategy for economically and socially disadvantaged groups, including agricultural laborers and members of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. As the first comprehensive book on Odisha migration, it is invaluable to scholars and researchers in migration studies, development studies, economics, sociology, demography, public policy, and South Asian studies. It also serves as a critical resource for policymakers and civil society organizations, offering a detailed analysis that can inform strategies to address migration and its challenges.
