Description This chapter is primarily focused on understanding the nature of demographic transformation
taking place in the coastal fishing communities in India over the past four decades. Broad
patterns of change with respect to key socio-demographic parameters such as the size and
structure of population residing in the marine fishing villages, number of fisher households,
average family size, poverty status, sex ratio and literacy rate are analysed based on four rounds
of the marine fisheries census. Furthermore, other auxiliary details such as the availability of
basic amenities in the fishing villages, trends in occupational profile of fishers, gender-wise
variations therein, changes in the number of fishing crafts and other fishery related
infrastructure are assessed in detail. The predominant pattern of labour mobility, which is a key
driver of demographic changes as well as socio-economic transformation within the fishing
communities, is discussed based on evidence from recent studies.
