"Migration of population has been a recurrent phenomenon since the dawn of human history.\r\nThough its form has changed but it remains a dominant event in the global social system. In\r\nmodern days also people migrate from underdeveloped areas to the developed ones in search of\r\nbetter opportunities. Several theories have been propounded to explain the occurrence of\r\nmigration. A number of social, cultural, economic, spatial, climatic, demographic factors induce\r\nmigration. Among them, the economic factors are considered as the primary reasons for\r\ninducing migration. Migration of male labour force from Bihar has increased during last two\r\ndecades which prompted us to analyze its consequences on efficiency of input in agricultural\r\nproduction, livelihood through remittances and also the empowerment of women left behind at\r\nplace of origin. It was observed that the efficiencies of human labour and irrigation in rice\r\nproduction were higher than non-migrant households and statistically significant, indicating\r\nrational use of these two critical inputs on migrant households in Bihar. The migration seems to\r\nhave helped in judicious use of human labour at native place due to migration of surplus labour\r\nforce for gainful employment to destination of migration. Remittances have been utilized for\r\nmeeting consumption needs, improved livelihood, better education to children and better health\r\ncare facilities which help in overall improvement in livelihood on migrant households in Bihar.\r\nMigrant households also preferred to save money to meet their requirements in unforeseen\r\nsituations. It can thus be infered that migration may be one of risk-coping strategies for the\r\nweaker sections of the society and has helped developing the saving habits among migrant\r\nhouseholds. The allocation of remittances on agricultural inputs could have increased if proper\r\ninfrastructure facilities were present in rural areas for faster dissemination of modern agricultural\r\ntechnology for increasing agricultural production. Level of women employment has increased on\r\nmigrant households, particularly on poor households; however, work load of women has also\r\nincreased. It has been observed that role of women of migrant households changed from unpaid\r\nfemale labour to managers of the household, however, they face problem in management of\r\nfund, technology and input-output marketing. There is a need to launch a programme for their\r\ntraining to improve their knowledge in financial, technological and marketing management."^^ . "2013" . . . "Munich Personal RePEc Archive"^^ . . .
