Abstract

Man is constantly on move. Movement of living beings in search of better environments is a natural phenomenon and man is no exception to it. Migration from one area to another in search of improved livelihood is a key feature of human history. Migrations have significantly influenced human history. Migration is as old as human history. Migration is an inevitable element of human life since time immemorial. People have been migrating since time immemorial for variety of reasons such as search of livelihood, employment opportunities etc. Migration within the country and across the borders is a facet of life which tends to expand opportunities for productive work and wider interaction among people and cultures. The makers of the Indian Constitution gave sanctity to such movements by guaranteeing freedom of movement and freedom to settle in any part of the territory of India as a fundamental right of all citizens. This freedom helps to integrate the country and secure its unity by removing internal barriers against movement and settlement. The present research is an attempt to study the inter-state migrant workers in Kanyakumari District with special reference to construction industry. The objectives of the present study are to analyse the current Demographic Profile, Migration Process and Reasons, Facilities provided in the Workplace and Reason for Satisfaction with the Present Work and find out the remedies.
