Dr. A . Kalaselvi, Mrs. L. A. Razia Fathima

Abstract :

 Migration is the barometer of changing socio – economic and political conditions at the national and international levels. Migration is also a sign of wide disparities in economic and social conditions between the origin and destination. Now days the volume of migration of rural to urban area has increased due to various factors in the course of development can not only accentuate the pace of mobility but would lead to emergence of new migration patterns. It will create not only number of socio economic problems in urban area but also exerts an adverse effect on rural area. There can be contrasting reasons for this current increase in the migration rate. On the one hand increasing unemployment, poverty, population pressure, and environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources etc. limits the livelihood options and may force people to migrate. But at the same time urbanization, better employment and educational opportunities, improvement in educational level, changing occupational pattern, development of transport and communication are the new impetus enabling spatial mobility.
