ABSTRACT
This is an attempt to study the effects of migration of earning member [to Gulf States] on the family, specially children left behind. Twenty five families who sought psychiatric help for one of their members were included. A control group [of non-migrant family] attending the out-patient's department was selected for comparison. The wife and children left behind experienced considerable emotional hardship. Twenty two families [88%] reported statistically significant recent maladjustment in 35 children [30%] as compared to control group of twelve families [48%] in 15 children [10%]. Undoubtedly the major brunt is faced by the wives but the damage done to children is much less appreciated. This study identifies the current disturbance but the future effects on the personality of other children could manifest much later
