Presenting a collection of painstakingly researched essays that
focus on both India and China, the book addresses these
challenges with an explicit focus on safeguarding the interests
of rural labour under the neoliberal dispensation. The research
is based on primary survey data and analytical issues from
selected Asian economies, especially from India. On the basis
of the findings discussed, it subsequently suggests ways
forward so as to improve the wellbeing of migrant households
and put an end to distress migration. Lastly, the book
convincingly argues that improving labour market outcomes, and
more specifically, generating employment and providing
alternative livelihood avenues, represents the most pressing
challenge in rural areas.
