Abstract
This paper examines the dynamics of labor
migration from the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan to Gulf countries, focusing
on its cyclical nature and the challenges faced by migrants at various stages.
Unlike other forms of migration, Gulf migration is characterized by short-term
contracts, restricted family movement, and mandatory return upon visa
expiration. The study identifies critical push factors, including unemployment
and low wages, and pull factors such as better job opportunities and higher
incomes in Gulf nations. It highlights the exploitation faced by semi-skilled
and unskilled migrants during the migration process, mediated by
intermediaries, and the challenges encountered both at the destination and upon
returning home. These include lack of job opportunities, insufficient capital
to start new ventures, and inability to utilize Gulf work experience locally.
By analyzing data from returning migrants, the paper provides insights into the
socio-economic impact of Gulf migration on the Shekhawati region and its labor
force.
