Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has delivered a global economic shock of enormous magnitude. Provision of livelihoods to the retuned migrants is the important challenge faced by various state governments in India. Western Odisha continues to depict a picture of chronic underdevelopment. In this region, the type of migration that dominates is seasonal or circular migration. The aim of the present analysis is to investigate the factors responsible for the seasonal migration of debt bondage (Dadan) from the Western Odisha. The specific objectives of the study are to know the factors responsible for distress migration and to explore how debt-bondage is operating in the economic system. The present study has observed that seasonal migrants of Western Odisha are more likely to be from those households who are poor, socially disadvantaged, less educated, indebted, and landless.
