Abstract

This study explores the association between the untouchability experiences in households and the migration status of India’s Scheduled Caste community. Utilizing descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression models, this study analyses migration determinants that are induced by untouchability. The findings indicate that households experiencing untouchability are twice as likely to migrate (uOR = 2.03, CI = 1.71–2.42). Even after adjusting for socio-economic and regional factors in the regression model, the higher odds persist at 1.5 times higher (aOR = 1.51, CI = 1.15–1.98). Uttar Pradesh (21.94%), Rajasthan (12.61%) and Madhya Pradesh (9.81%) exhibit the highest untouchability rates. Madhya Pradesh (33.65%) records the highest migration rate due to untouchability, followed by Rajasthan (18.01%), Uttar Pradesh (9%) and Bihar (9%). This study underscores a noteworthy disparity in migration patterns between those experiencing untouchability and those who do not. Addressing untouchability is essential for mitigating its profound effects on migration, socio-economic mobility and community dynamics, promoting a more inclusive and equitable society.
印度由贱民制度引发的移民:探索在册种姓移民的轨迹
本研究探讨了家庭中的贱民经历与印度在册种姓社区移民状况之间的关联。利用描述性统计和二元逻辑回归模型,本研究分析了由贱民制度引起的移民决定因素。研究结果表明,遭遇贱民制度的家庭移民的可能性是其他家庭的两倍(uOR = 2.03,CI = 1.71-2.42)。即使在回归模型中对社会经济和地区因素进行调整后,较高的几率仍然是原来的 1.5 倍(aOR = 1.51,CI = 1.15-1.98)。北方邦(21.94%)、拉贾斯坦邦(12.61%)和中央邦(9.81%)的贱民率最高。中央邦(33.65%)因贱民制导致的移民率最高,其次是拉贾斯坦邦(18.01%)、北方邦(9%)和比哈尔邦(9%)。这项研究强调了遭受贱民制和没有遭受贱民制的人之间在移徙模式上存在的显著差异。要减轻贱民制对移徙、社会经济流动性和社区动态的深远影响,促进建立一个更具包容性和更加公平的社会,就必须解决贱民制问题。
