ABSTRACT This paper analyses the proposition that the process of migration and urbanization in India has opened up in recent years, enabling people to move freely and leading to labour market integration, using data from the population census and National Sample Survey (NSS). Based on a critical examination of methodological and data-related issues and the insights on migration gained from the recent Economic Survey and India Human Development Survey, it questions the thesis that mobility in general has gone up significantly notwithstanding the increased mobility and absorption of poor and unskilled women in low-level service sector jobs, particularly in urban areas. Taking the case of the Muslim population, it argues that migration of socioeconomically vulnerable sections of the population has gone down.

印度的流动趋势：劳动力市场整合问题和弱势人群的排斥

摘要本文使用人口普查和国家抽样调查（NSS）的数据分析了近年来印度移民和城市化进程开放的主张，该进程使人们能够自由流动并导致劳动力市场一体化。在对方法论和与数据有关的问题进行严格审查并从最近的《经济调查》和《印度人类发展调查》中获得的有关移民的见解的基础上，它提出了一个论点，即尽管穷人和贫困人口的流动性和吸收性有所提高，但总体而言，流动性仍显着上升低水平服务部门工作的非熟练妇女，尤其是在城市地区。以穆斯林人口为例，它认为人口中社会经济脆弱部分的移民减少了。
