Migration has been part and parcel of human life throughout the history and it is an important to factor in redistribution of the population over time and space. Across the world and country people are on move, seeking for a better life, future and opportunities for self/family and some move as due to some natural calamity. A study by UN in 2016 found that India had the largest “diaspora” in the world, which is around 16 million followed by other countries. Globally almost half of all international migrants are women. Around 50 per cent women migrant of the entire migrant, increasingly migrate for a new job, opportunities, independently as a breadwinner for the families and some migrate as the dependent.Apart from this, there is also a growing demand for labour and mostly focused on domestic work, services, hospitality, and sex across the country and globe. Indeed, labour migration help and benefit women through economic and socio-cultural empowerment, but still they are surrounded and exposed to a variety of abuse and risks arising from their mobility due to their dual vulnerability as migrants and women. In all migration streams (Urban to rural, rural to urban, Urban to urban) the men migrant contribution per cent was more than their women counterparts, except in rural to rural migration stream where migration rate of women migrant was found to be distinct (70.00 %). Migration rate of women migrant in both rural (47.7 %) and urban area (45.6 %) was found to be higher than migration rate of men migrant (rural 5.4 %, urban 25.9 %). The migration ,as caused by several reasons, in employment related reason migration rate of urban men migrant, was spotted more compared to rural men migrant but in security-related reasons women migrants were found dominant compared to their counterparts. Migration rate of women migrant increased in the age group of 20-24 years and 25-29 years. And among the Northeastern states, Sikkim was found to have the highest per cent of women migrant in both rural(41.1 %) and urban areas (72.9 %) per 1000 person.

Growth in technology, increase in computing knowledge to both consumers and enterprises, and internet connectivity has changed the traditional way of doing business. These technological growths have brought about changes in the way a work is done and also changes the worker too. Due to this workers undergo depression and anxiety anticipating job loss by technologically generated workplace changes. However, increased digitalization of the workplace has been an advantage for the organizations through increased productivity, cost savings, a more mobile and agile workplace and increased adaptability in the complex marketplace. Moreover, the new digital workplace has its own challenges too. Anxiety is a commonly observed problem among the workers, due to the introduction of technology in the workplace. The feeling of anxiety and frustration leads to resistance; which ultimately rejects the benefits the management had hoped to accumulate by executing it. If such resistance is not properly dealt with at the organizational level, it may compromise with the intellectual and/or emotional capacity of the workers to adjust with the introduction of the growing new technology. An effort to manage the period of transformation is required to navigate the tension between the negative and positive perspectives on the growing displacement of human labour by technology. The displacement of the worker may result in economic divergence between rich and poor, economic poverty, social unrest for growing numbers of dislocated workers, backlashes against technology and economic and social decline. The use of technology if handled properly, to replace workaday, lackluster, repetitive, dangerous or strenuous labour could make it possible to live more meaningful and contented lives.
