What Is the Effect of Male Out-Migration on the Autonomy of Married Women Left Behind in Indian Households?
2024
Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed deep crevices in India’s predominantly informal economy, the extent of urban dependence on low-income migrant workers, and the consequent impact on the livelihood of India’s sizable migrant population. Much of the literature on migration has focused on migration patterns, the push and pull factors that influence migration decisions and the economic benefits of remittances sent back home. However, the impact of migration goes beyond economic gains. There are consequent changes in the role of the household members left behind. This thesis examines whether male out-migration has an impact on the autonomy of married women left behind in households using the Indian Human Development Survey-II from 2011-2012. Our risk-adjusted results suggest a positive relationship between male out-migration and physical autonomy and the decision-making autonomy of married women within households. There is a negative relationship between male out-migration and the political autonomy and economic autonomy of married women. However, the statistical significance of these relationships varies for different dimensions of autonomy.
