About KEA
The Structure and Design
of the Conference
A
small gathering of economists, research scholars,
professors, professionals and policy planners met at
Canara Bank Conference Hall, Thiruvananthapuram on 21
July 2013 and decided to form a forum for discussing economic
issues and public policy matters, which will have farreaching
implications for the development of the polity, society and
economy of Kerala. As an outcome of this serious deliberations,
the group stressed the need for a common and inclusive platform,
which accommodates, researchers, professionals, practitioners,
teachers and research scholars of economics in Kerala.
The three day conference focuses on the basic theme of
‘Migration, Development and Society’. The demographic
transition which is well underway in Kerala is a unique
experience whose wide ranging implications need deeper
study and investigation. It is only relevant to revisit Kerala’s
development experience on a wider canvass.
The conference is another milestone in Kerala’s
development trajectory.
Kerala Economic Association successfully conducted its first
annual conference in May 2015 at S.H. College, Thevara. In
addition to the annual conference KEA conducted a series of
