- Husbands out-migration and autonomy of left behind wives In context of South Asia
Abstract Content (not more than 300 word, should include: Introduction, Objective, Methodology, critical findings & Conclusion):
South Asia is the source country for the world’s largest stock of international migrants and the top recipient of remittances in the world ($163 billion in 2022). Physical separation of males from their families due to labour migration is a predominant feature in the region. It has a profound effect on the left behind families, particularly on the women who stay back. This paper examines the consequences of labour migration on the autonomy and decision-making of women in rural households in India, Pakistan and Nepal. It uses data from Pakistan Demographic Health Survey 2017-18, and Nepal Demographic Health Survey 2016 which contains a set of questions on migration. Since India has a national-level data gap on migration, it uses data from the Middle Ganga Plain (MGP) migration survey conducted in a pocket of high out-migration i.e., in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar (2018 and 2019). Women’s say in household expenditure, health care, mobility and access to mobile and banking are used as indicators of autonomy. The study compares the women from emigrant households with those living in households without migration. The result shows that though international labour migration is adopted as a temporary household’s livelihood strategy, it plays a significant role in the autonomy of women who live at their place of origin.
