I read parts of Lant Pritcett book a couple of years ago and still browsing through the summary of the study What are the development impacts of “best practice” seasonal migration schemes? and the working paper here.
P.S. More links and discussion in Gulzar Natarajan's posts Labour mobility as an anti-poverty intervention and The case for temporary cross-country migration
