Abstract
The Informal Labour Market in India: Transitory or Permanent Employment for Migrants?
Highlights
In most developing countries, there is a large sector of the economy that is called the informal sector or the unorganized sector
We find that members who come from the lower social groups are more likely to be in the informal sector
When we look at the distribution of occupations by caste and religion, as depicted in Table 3, we note that Brahmins and high caste people are more likely to be in the higher level occupations, while Dalits and Muslims are more likely to be in the lower level occupations
Summary
There is a large sector of the economy that is called the informal sector or the unorganized sector. Our results suggest that urban natives are more likely to be in the formal sector as they have more access to better schools, social networks and job information and referrals compared with the rural-to-urban migrants.
