Though Kerala occupied high literacy rate among other states in India, majority of the educated youth prefer to go abroad. They are not offered a suitable job appropriate to his/ her education level. Better job opportunities and high income prospects prompted people especially married persons to migrate. But in reality emigrants who got job in Gulf which is not related to his or her education qualifications. Majority of the migrant workers were engaged in private sector, where major portion are male emigrants worked in technical and low skilled field. Survey findings shows that emigrants especially those lived with family have lesser savings than those lived in single. The decline in oil price followed by economic crisis and COVID pandemic resulted a slowdown in the activities of government. Many companies cut the salary by half, completely cut incentives and allowance which laborers’ got before crisis and most of them lose their job. Many of them faced some kind of mental depression which may lead to other health problems.
