Description Assessing the demographic characteristics of migrant fisher folks
of coastal states of Gujarat and Maharashtra, with special focus on causes of
migration, challenges and achievements in livelihood. Methods: The primary
statistical tool of descriptive analysis, percentage analysis, Garrette ranking
etc. have been carried out to assess various parameters of the study. Binary
logistic regression was carried out to analyse the determinants for predicting
willingness for continuing migration of fishermen. Findings: The expected
rise in income and anticipated desire of enjoying a better standard of living
and the seasonality are the key factors which necessitate the fishermen to
migrate . The study identified unemployment as the main problem faced
by the workers in fishing industry which necessitates the need for the
labour migration. Moreover, income inequality, climate change, demographic
shift and conflicts also contributed towards labour migration, in search of
employability and security. Novelty: Marine fisheries sector is one of the most
important sectors contributing much for the Indian economy but still facing
disguised unemployment. Income inequalities, climate change, demographic
shift and conflicts had contributed much for the migration of labour in search of
employment and security. This proposed study is an investigative research over
the labour migration and alternative avocation in the marine fisheries sector
of the districts of Gujarat and Maharashtra as labour migration has become an
adaptive or coping strategy of fishermen of the study area which scrutinizes
the relevance of this study.
