Abstract: Migration in West Bengal is a historical process that is shaping the demography, culture and economy of the state. Kolkata, the capital of the state has been selected in this paper for discussion as types and factors of migration are truly different in terms of gender division in Kolkata. Male migrants are mostly economic migrant in compare to the females. In and out migration ratios of the females are not only guided by social factors but also by some economic parameters. Marriage is one of the important criteria of female migration. The study attempts to highlight certain demographic characteristics of female migrants of Kolkata along with their pattern and reason of migration with reference to the insights from the census data. The paper mainly deals to recognise the spatial and temporal variation of female migrants of Kolkata and their categorical justification. The work is based on analysis of census data from 1971 to 2011 and also empirical study conducted in 2019.
