dc.description.abstractAcross South Asia people are on the move – migrating in search of work and to escape hardship. Understanding the circumstances that compel migration in arid areas is particularly important since environmental constraints can drive rural households into making decisions that place them in even deeper poverty. What factors motivate people to move? In particular, does degradation of natural resources matter for migration decisions? And, do the poor in the region follow the same path as the wealthy? A recent SANDEE study looks into some of these issues by studying migration in three districts in Gujarat in India.en
