This study uses a mixed-methods research methodology to provide a thorough understanding of the changes taking place inside urban contexts as it examines the reconfiguration of gender norms during rural-to-urban migration in Karnataka. The study uses focus groups, interviews, and surveys with 300 immigrant families to investigate how migration affects gender roles by integrating qualitative and quantitative methods. The results show notable changes in gender norms, indicating a trend towards greater gender equality. These changes include a rise in the participation of migrants in the society and in financial decision-making. Many people nevertheless carry out their conventional duties, like housework, despite these changes. The study also emphasizes how experiences differ according to age, gender, and work status, highlighting how complicated this change is. In order to address the changing gender dynamics in urban settings and promote gender equality in the context of continuous migratory movements, the findings highlight the need for additional research and focused policy initiatives.
