About the Programme
The 13th Annual Short-term Training Programme, to be held on September 17 – 21, 2018, will educate young researchers on the Kerala Migration Surveys and equip them with tools to do research with the data from the 8 rounds (1998, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2018). The data includes consumption expenditure of households, remittances, return migration, social costs of migration among children, women and elderly. The Centre for Development Studies (CDS) has conducted KMS since 1998. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the survey series. The programme will cover survey methodology, data management, data analyses and estimation among other aspects of research. Training will be conducted by experienced researchers working with KMS data. This will be followed by a session of experience-sharing and team-building to promote future collaboration.
