This article examines the socio-economic determinant of temporary labour migration in Jharkhand. The study uses primary data collected from 12 villages in the western region of Jharkhand. We have used logistic regression model to find out the socio-economic determinant of migration by setting, individual (n = 4,241) and households (n = 781). The regression results show that temporary migration is basically from poor households, and migrants are basically male, young and form Scheduled Caste community. Here, landholding and Monthly Per capita Consumption Expenditure (MPCE) have been taken as the indicator of poverty. We find that there is significant and negative relationship between land owned and migration, that is, the more the land owned, the less the household is likely to migrate. Further, we find that higher the MPCE, lesser the induvial is likely to migrate. Poverty, lack of sufficient means of subsistence, unequal distribution of landholding to meet household expenditure, availability of employment opportunities and loan are the main causes of temporary migration. Since temporary labour migration is very large, it needs to be given high priority with specific policy interventions.

印度西贾坎德邦临时劳动力移民的社会经济决定因素

本文研究了贾坎德邦临时劳动力移民的社会经济决定因素。该研究使用了从贾坎德邦西部地区12个村庄收集的主要数据。我们使用逻辑回归模型通过设置个人（n = 4,241）和家庭（n = 781）来找出移民的社会经济决定因素。回归结果表明，临时移民基本上来自贫困家庭，而移民则主要是男性，年轻人和预定的种姓社区。在这里，土地和人均每月消费支出（MPCE）已被视为贫困的指标。我们发现，土地所有权与移民之间存在显着的负相关关系，即，拥有的土地越多，家庭迁移的可能性就越小。此外，我们发现MPCE越高，较小的工业可能迁移。贫困，缺乏足够的生存手段，土地分配不均等以应付家庭支出，就业机会和贷款的提供是造成临时移民的主要原因。由于临时劳动力的迁移非常大，因此需要通过特定的政策干预措施来给予高度重视。
