    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Demography
    • Urban Studies

    Background:

    • Urban migration patterns in India are influenced by socioeconomic factors.
    • Understanding the educational profile of migrants is crucial for urban planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the educational selectivity of urban migrants in India.
    • To investigate the role of educated female migrants as dependents versus workers.
    • To analyze regional variations in these migration characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 1971 census data for India.
    • Statistical examination of migrant educational attainment.
    • Comparison of male and female migrant roles in urban destinations.

    Main Results:

    • Urban migration in India is significantly selective of educated individuals.
    • A substantial proportion of educated female migrants are dependents, not primary workers.
    • The propositions concerning educational selectivity and female migrant roles vary across different cultural regions of India.

    Conclusions:

    • Educational selectivity is a key characteristic of Indian urban migration.
    • The dependent status of educated female migrants is a notable demographic trend.
    • Regional cultural contexts significantly mediate the educational and occupational profiles of urban migrants.
