Women's Mobility in India: Missing Labour Force

Journal of Global Economy, 2014, vol. 10, issue 3, 205-220

Abstract: This paper attempts to analyse whether women’s mobility is restricted in comparison to men. It makes an attempt to analyse both patriarchal system & women’s mobility along with Human capital model & women’s mobility. It attempts to examine the NSS 64th round survey (July 2007-June 2008). The NSS 64th round survey provides ample empirical data on women’s migration, sufficient to conclude that there are large chunks of migrants among woman in India. However, this copious data remains sadly unanalyzed, as there is very little literature available in this area. Unless such literature is available any empirical analysis of the data will be hardly of any significance.
