Abstract

This article analyzes the role of families in processes of rural-urban migration in India in the twentieth century. It shows that the continuous circular form of this migration should be explained as a consequence of rural family strategies. Already established kinship relations or marriage opportunities in the future Act as a centripetal force, drawing the labor migrants back to their communities time and again. In addition, the article shows how migration is informed by economic and cultural considerations which determine the socio-economic behavior of men and women.
