Introduction -- 2. The Informal Sector and Structural Transformation -- 3. The Informal Sector and Rural-to-Urban Migration -- 4. A Test of Two Rival Migration Models -- 5. An Analysis of Rural-to-Rural Migration -- 6. Conclusions.  aThis book explores the role of the informal sector in the economic transformation of India. Focusing on the period 1950-80, it examines the factors that determined the flow of workers from one area to another and considers the impact of migration from rural to urban areas on the expansion of the informal sector. The growth of the informal sector in India is analysed alongside the decline in agriculture and growth of industry and services to show the structural transformation of the Indian economy. Broader issues, such as urban unemployment, fixed wages, education, and entrepreneurship, are also discussed. This book highlights the links between migration, the informal sector, urbanisation, and economic growth within developing countries. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in development economics and economic history. Prabir Bhattacharya is an economist affiliated to both Glasgow and Heriot-Watt Universities.
