Abstract

One of the key issues in any migration study relates to what happens to the family members of migrant after his migration. Invariably most of the migrants are males who move alone without taking with them their wives and children. Several reasons ranging from not having a family visa to education of children prevent the male migrants from taking their family members with them. An attempt has been made to study the positive and negative impacts of male migration on their children., This article examines the different hardships and great changes experienced by children of male migrants with respect to their age and gender. When these children are able to have quality education due to their fathers’ migration, findings of this study reveal that the left behind children feel they live in incomplete families and their mothers are overprotective.

Key Words: Migration, Self-Concept, Left-behind, Gender, Age.
