What to Focus On

  • Migration is movement of population from one place to another.
  • Migration may be permanent or temporary.
  • A migrant person is identified by census enumeration at a place other than the place of birth.
  • Migration was first recorded in the Indian census in 1881.
  • The 1961 census added duration of residence for people born elsewhere.
  • The 1971 census added place of last residence and duration of stay.
  • Migration by duration: permanent or temporary.
  • Migration by scale: international and internal.
  • International migration includes out-migration of Indians and immigration into India.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Migration means only permanent movement from one place to another.

A migrant person is defined only by where the person lives now.

Out-migration and immigration mean the same thing, and both can be used for movement within India.
