CEPI Foundation generates primary research on migration, labour markets, and social exclusion — designed to inform policy, programs, and advocacy, not just academic archives.
Primary research on migration patterns, corridors, push and pull factors, and the lived experiences of workers — generating data that is currently absent from public policy discourse.
Analysis of informal labour markets, wage structures, working conditions, and employer practices — providing evidence for policy reform and industry engagement.
Research on education outcomes for children in migrant households — documenting the specific barriers to continuity and the conditions under which children thrive despite migration.
Testing and evaluating digital tools for worker registration, service delivery, and scheme access in low-connectivity, low-literacy field contexts.
Analysis of existing migration governance frameworks, scheme portability, inter-state coordination mechanisms, and gaps in implementation — to support evidence-based advocacy with state and central government.
We welcome collaborative research partnerships with universities and research institutions working on migration, labour, or social policy.
We accept commissioned research from government bodies, think tanks, and international organisations seeking evidence on India's internal migration landscape.
Foundations and CSR teams can commission research aligned with our focus areas — with full methodology transparency and open publication rights.
