Analysis of Inter-state Migrant Workmen

Abstract

Interstate workmen's mobility is an essential and dynamic feature of India's labor environment. This research gives a succinct review of critical concerns concerning interstate migrant workers. Investigates the reasons for immigration, its job sectors, obstacles, legal safeguards, and contemporary governmental efforts. This study expands on previous research that highlights the complexities and vulnerabilities of this critical workforce. Rural poverty, restricted economic possibilities in their native country, and the promise of higher earnings and living circumstances in destination locations all encourage migrant workers in India. Construction, agriculture, industry, services, and the informal economy are all examples of these. These workers, however, suffer a number of obstacles, including exploitation, poor earnings, job instability, insufficient living conditions, and restricted access to basic services. Despite legislative safeguards such as the Interstate Migrant Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act of 1979, enforcement was patchy, and many workers were uninformed of their rights. This analysis emphasizes the need to collect reliable data and do research to influence policy choices and enhance the lives of interstate migrant workers.
