abstract: 'India''s Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(MGNREGS) is the largest public-works based rural livelihood programme
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the world. One of the important policy objectives of the Scheme is to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
curb rural out-migration by guaranteeing demand-driven employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities for 100 days in a year in rural areas. This paper uses a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
large sample survey-based nationally representative data set and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different probability models to investigate how MGNREGS influences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individuals'' seasonal rural out-migration decisions. The results reveal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that contrary to the policy objective, participation, the extent of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation and earnings from the Scheme increases an individual''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
propensity to out-migrate. However, the Scheme serves broader and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equally critical socio-economic goals of empowerment through income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
security and positive network effects. MGNREGS, on the one hand,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly drives the decisions of aspirational migration of rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individuals, particularly females and the relatively advantaged. On the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other, it curbs distress migration of the relatively disadvantaged by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
providing them with basic livelihood opportunities within the rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
areas. Based on the findings, the paper draws several policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implications and discusses key policy imperatives towards expanding the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scale and scope of the public-works Scheme. (c) 2021 The Society for
