2. Outline of the Presentation • Introduction & Review of literature • Objectives • Data Source and Methodology • Findings • Summary and conclusion

3. Introduction & Review of literature • The ICPD (1994) focused that male involvement can play a major role, responsibility and participation in sexual and reproductive behaviour. • MDG goal 3 indicates promotion the gender equality and women empowerment • MDG Goal 4, 5 indicate the reduction of child mortality and improvement of maternal health

4. Cont….. • Migration is a third component of population change • Migration tends to reduce the fertility level and improve the socio-economic status, reproductive knowledge and behaviour • However effect of migration on reproductive knowledge and practices among male is not studies in-depth

5. Definition of Migration • Migration is an form of geographical mobility or spatial mobility between one geographical unit and another, generally involving a change in residence from the place of origin or place of departure to the place destination or place of arrival Place of Origin Place of Destination

6.

(ICPD 1994).

7. Review of literature • Lindstrom at el. (2006) Migration is positively associated with the knowledge of reproductive behaviour as compared to non migrated people because migrant have better accessibility of source of knowledge, media, pear network and others

8. cont…. • Migration adopt the life style of migrated place and compete an earn income that meets their expectations (Resosudarmo B. et al. 2009). • Harris and Todaro model (1970) higher average income attracts the rural people for the employment or some other purpose to urban areas.

9. Objective and Hypothesis of the Study • Objective • Study the reproductive health knowledge and behavior among male migrant and non-migrant in India. • Hypothesis • Migration influence positively the reproductive health knowledge and behavior among male.

10. Data source and Methodology • National Family Health Survey-3 (NFHS-3) which is equivalent to Demographic Health Survey in India is used for the study

11. Methodology of the Study • Based on duration of stay in place of residence considered • Recent Migrant (<10 years) • Migrant (10 and above years) • Non-migrant (Always) • Bi-variate (Crosstab ) • Multivariate Technique (logistic Regression)

12. Regional variation of Migrant and Non-Migrant Men in India

13. Wealth quintile, Place of residence of Migrant and non Migrant Men in India

14. Education of Migrant and Non-Migrant Men in India

15. Caste of Migrant and Non-Migrant Men in India

16. Reproductive health knowledge & Behavior Between Migrant and Non-Migrant Men in India (2005-06)

18. ANC Checkup & Place of Delivery among migrant and Non-Migrant Men in India

19. Use of contraception among Migrant and non Migrant men in India

Summary and Conclusion of the Study • This study explores the reproductive health knowledge among migrant and non migrant male in India based on years lived in place of residence • The present study identifies how reproductive knowledge and migration varies by different region and socio-economic condition

24. Cont…. • The level of Reproductive health Knowledge and behavior are better among migrant as compared to non migrant. • However the chance of having better knowledge about drinking pattern of water during child diarrhea is significantly more among migrant. • Through those who migrant urban to urban the proportion of having correct knowledge of ovulatory cycle the practices of safe delivery and chance of having two or less child significantly more compared to non migrant

25. Cont…. • Rural to rural migration also shows positive effect of migration as significant in modern contraception use of practices at the time of ANC check up and knowledge of delivery pattern during child diarrhea. • However migration do have some negative impact in this regard when it is urban to rural areas.
