Abstract

The positive social outcomes of migration are generally invisible. It affects both economic as well as non-economic status of migrant households. In the study of nexus of migration and social capital, most of the work concentrated on the causal mechanism of the migration process and highlighted only destination oriented social capital of migrant households. Though, left-behind members of migrants certainly enjoyed the social capital by flow of social remittance from different destination like new ideas and which is increasing their social networks with existing social-economic institutions. Therefore this paper, at first, finds associations between different types of formal-informal (objective and subjective) social capital in the originating society. Then, it draws out differential outcomes of social capital between migrant and non-migrant households. At last, this paper answered how social capital formation is determined by migration rate along with household’s character and locational variables. By using India Human Development Survey 2011, this study finds that the effect of migration on social capital formation has certainly gone in a positive direction and gone through different channels of migration development nexus.
