It studies the causes of the seasonal migration of debt bondage utilising the survey. The data are analysed using a binary choice model, and the results suggest that seasonal migrants are more likely to come from impoverished, socially disadvantaged, less educated, indebted and landless households. It suggests the identification of forward and backward linkages between diverse economic activity as well as the creation of job opportunities while deciding on public policy for this region.
