Analyse the reasons for migrations of people in Dokur village

Explanation:

Rural households in many countries have used temporary or seasonal migration as a strategy

to cope with natural shocks such as drought, means of employment and income generation

during lean season and to move out of poverty. This paper studies the linkages between

migration, employment in economic activities, asset accumulation and poverty reduction

among rural households in a drought-prone village of India over the last four decades. The

Dokur village of Mahbubnagar district in Telangana State of India experienced persistent

drought over a decade. To cope with this situation, many households of the village

temporarily migrated to the nearby and faraway cities. ICRISAT had conducted household

surveys in Dokur under the Village Level Studies (VLS) and Village Dynamics Studies

(VDSA) program since 1975. The present study has used the VLS-VDS dataset (1975-2012)

and reorganized sample households into 46 dynasty households. Based on their participation

in migration, sample households were grouped into two categories: migrant and non-migrant

households. Household income was computed by sources for all households for all the study

years. Contribution of migratory income and remittances to the total household income was

quantified. To identify the factors responsible for migration decision, Probit analysis was

carried out. For each year, sample households were grouped into poor and non-poor category

using both lower ($1.25 ppp per day per person) and upper ($2.00 ppp per day per person)

poverty line. The study revealed that seasonal out migration helped many households to come

out of poverty even though they had experienced a decade of drought. In-depth analysis of

asset accumulation behaviour of the households over time revealed important insights

regarding their coping mechanism and the process of moving out of poverty.

answer; when one group has an extremely high score at pretest;

this statement is true.

forests are public goods, available for everybody. when usage of such a good becomes interesting for consumers and its usage increases, there can be a risk of overexploitation. it is a non rival good therefore, if one person consumes the good it does not reduce the availability for subsequent consumers.

these caracteristics require the establishment of measures in order to prevent the destruction of a commonly owned space, for example, to restrict the amount of people that have access to the same time.
