| dc.description.abstract | The Coronavirus Pandemic has sparked huge reverse migration throughout the country as well as in Goa. Loss of Jobs and Starting all over poses a huge challenge to the return migrants. This problem is exacerbated for low-skilled workers than for skilled labour. This has jeopardised every aspect of their life as their families were totally dependent on the remittances sent home. The Implementation of the lock down brought turmoil into the lives and livelihood of these migrants working abroad and who are primarily surviving through contributing labour to the informal sector and low paying jobs. This reverse migration has put a strain on the native state as it quashes the remuneration flow from other countries and there are bleak chances of employability for those who return home. Furthermore, there is a loss of status in the home and village and apprehensions about the future. This Chapter seeks to examine the impact of reverse migration on home communities amidst the global pandemic. | |
