| Abstract: |
This chapter looks at ways in which male circular migration as a household livelihood strategy affects food access among rural households in India. Circular male labour migration is the dominant form of labour mobility in many parts of India. This migration pattern creates important rural-urban linkages through income transfers and alters within-household gender power relations. This chapter analyses the bearing of these dynamics of migration on household food security, with the larger objective of bridging the divide that currently exists between migration and food security agendas in global development research and practice. |
