- W235984174 abstract "Using 1971 census data and focusing on the city characteristics of size growth rate functional specialization period since city status was attained and regional location this paper examines the phenomenon of migration to Indian cities. A schematic model is used to portray the relationship between the dominance of intradistrict interdistrict and interstate migration streams on one hand and the characteristics of the migrants and of the cities on the other. Although movement to cities from rural areas was the dominant migration stream in the past the recent trend indicates a shift toward urban-to-urban migration. Lifetime migrants have a lower sex ratio than the nonmigrants but a higher proportion of educated persons. Moreover the proportion of workers in white-collar jobs is significantly higher among migrants than among nonmigrants. Cities with dominant intradistrict migration streams have proportionally fewer lifetime migrants in their populations than other cities. They also have low sex ratios among migrants (below 100) and fewer migrants who are well educated. These cities are mostly of local importance in the national economy. In contrast cities with high proportions of interdistrict of interstate migrants higher proportions of better educated persons and larger proportions of them engaged in white-collar occupations than the nonmigrants. These cities are mostly of regional and national importance economically. When used as explanatory variables the city characteristics together explain about 2/5 of the variations in the proportions of lifetime migrants or the current immigration rates. Regression analysis using the strength of different migration streams and certain characteristics of the migrants however improves the amount of explained variance to about 3/5 and even more in some cases. A final section of the paper examines urban development policies of the Government of India and the state governments in light of the findings of the present study and suggests policies for the future.
