Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The aim of this study is to measure the short-term impact of China�s Three Gorges Dam project on the 1.3 million migrants that were forced to relocate by the project. We focus on the social, economic, and mental and physical health impact using a total of 44 indicators. Using a prospective research design, we gathered information about these indicators from a sample of migrants first before the move and then after the move. Changes in migrants� wellbeing during the period, when benched on the corresponding changes computed for a control group of non-migrants, are attributed to the impact of forced migration. Our results showed that the forced migration has affected migrants negatively in all three areas of interest; with the negative impact on migrants� economic and health wellbeing being more widespread and conclusive than its social impact.
