Behavioral Aspects of Migration & Its Linkage to Human Development: A Outline

Himasri Barman

Abstract: Human migration, whether internal or external, has long accompanied the shift in development. This review has attempted to understand the many realities surrounding migration by looking at how migration affects human development, infrastructure, education, health and other sectors. It draws attention to how migration, along with professional mobility, plays a critical role in the spread of sexual illnesses like HIV. The study examines the behavioral characteristics of migrants as well as the patterns and variances in migration trends among states. Higher levels of regional imbalances are caused by rural outmigration rates that are rising. The COVID pandemic has had a remarkable effect on human life, leading to unanticipated patterns of migration. For the general well - being of migrants, the government must implement comprehensive & sound legislative strategies and an efficient social protection program. To lessen disparities between different regions, the study recommended improving infrastructure, facilitating connectivity, offering high - quality education and medical (both physical and mental health) facilities, implementing govt schemes and HIV prevention programs effectively, encouraging cottage industry, agriculture in rural areas, and fully enumerating tribal SC/ST migration and illegal migration, as they were overlooked in the Indian Census.
