Abstract

This paper attempts to obtain broad trends on youngsters migrating from Kerala for higher studies and analyse the current trends. It seeks to identify various physical/social/institutional challenges that contribute to the drivers of this migration. It also tries to study the association of institutional credit and current trends in international migration. Invisible labour/ shadow labour aspects of students are addressed to seek improvement of international norms that facilitate justice and rights to the migrant student communities. A baseline survey and its analysis have been carried out in order to understand the scenario from a migrated student’s perspective.
