Abstract

Socio-economic transformation relates to a significant transition in distinct aspects of society, including values, culture, ideology, and its structure. It also revives the productive structure, job pattern, and technological innovation. The advent of socio-economic transformation has brought about urbanization. Urban spaces thereby have become a hub for economic opportunities resulting in the migration of transgender people from peripheral rural areas in search of dignified livelihood. From implementing effective and efficient policies to modernizing the outlook of the society, from imbuing a sense of gender equality to improving the quality of lives, the urban settlement in city life has improvised the life of transgender people in terms of socio-economic acceptance. This paper studies the socio-economic transformation in the status of 59 migrated transgender from Bhubaneswar city in terms of education, job stability, and livelihood and also focuses on the opportunities that have facilitated their mainstreaming in smart society.
