Abstract
This article embodies the results of the Kerala Migration Survey (KMS) 2011, fifth in the series of comprehensive survey on international migration from Kerala being undertaken by the Centre for Development Studies since 1998 with the financial support from the Department of Non-Resident Keralites Affairs (NORKA), Government of Kerala and the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, Government of India.. The 2011 study is based on primary data collected from 15,000 households selected at random by a stratified multistage random sampling technique covering all the 63 taluks.
The number of Kerala emigrants living abroad in 2011 is estimated to be 2.28 million, up from 2.19 million in 2008. The total remittances in Kerala in 2011 were estimated to be Rs. 49,695 crores compared with Rs. 43,288 crores in 2008. Remittances were 31.23 per cent of the state’s net state domestic product (NSDP) Remittances are 1.6 times the revenue receipt of the Kerala Government, 6.2 times what the state gets from the Centre as revenue transfer. It is more than twice the Government’s annual expenditure. It is more than 60 per cent of the state’s public debt.
