Migration, health and development are considered to be the three interrelated
issues in the present development scenario. The book, which examines the
linkages between these three, is based on the analysis of both micro and macro
data drawn from censuses, large sample surveys and?á field studies primarily
conducted in Asian countries with special emphasis on India.
With 20 research papers thematically arranged into five sections on Migration
and Urbanisation; Population, Development and Environment; Ageing; Demography of
Ethnic Groups; and Population Policies and Programmes, the book promises to be
of immense value for social scientists including population scientists, urban
and regional planners, policy makers and administrators.
