Abstract
AbstractTraditional migration drivers are being supplanted in certain situations by non-traditional drivers in South Asian (SA) countries. Traditional factors such as economic, climatic, and political concerns appear to be driving a particular group of people to leave. In recent years, however, some fresh factors have emerged in South Asia that have led to the emergence of a new type of migration, namely wealthy South Asians leaving their countries to settle elsewhere in order to secure their accumulated wealth in ways they do not want to disclose. This results in a reverse remittance flow. This study aims to contribute to the discourse on this new category of migrants, which is distinct from traditional migration flows that include economic and forced migration.
