Description:	Population migration across the world has not only brought blessings but also pain to many people. Drawing on the recent migration theories and debates the chapter lays out the theoretical framework to understand the relation between migration and fatalities. The chapter explains how a set of variables including workers’ access to basic services, level of stress, nature of politics and policy contribute to increased fatalities of the migrants. With the data from South Asia, the authors explore causes of health hazards and fatalities of the migrant. The Institutionalised Dependency Trap (IDT) is also elaborated upon in this chapter in order to explain why and how migrant casualties happen, especially in the Middle East and Gulf countries. Attention has also been drawn to the policies of the receiving countries that serve only to intensify the dependency trap for the mostly South Asian migrants. The chapter presents the methodology and concludes with the organization of chapters in the book.
