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
