Abstract

The paper examines the trend of female migration of North Eastern states of India, using the Census 2001 and 2011. Marriage and movement with households mainly contribute female migration. The paper shows in-migration rate and out-migration rate of female for North East India states. The female out-migration rate is more than their in-migration rate for Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura (Census, 2001). The female out-migration rate is more than their in-migration rate for Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura, except Assam and Manipur (Census, 2011).
