Abstract

Migration was prompted by India's economic policies and globalization, which increased job opportunities in the rapidly expanding employment sector. The population of migrants and their circumstances in the destination are examined by the writers. Examining the actual circumstances faced by migrant internal workers in the construction industry is the study's goal. The comprehensive case study approach was employed to gather pertinent data from the chosen cases, and secondary sources of data from different publications, articles, and internet sources were also used to bolster the study's framework. The interstate migrant worker and the employer (who might be a state contractor, engineer, or architect) who must make accommodations for the worker to perform their job activity are the two parties involved in the case study. The scope of the construction industry among migrant laborers, the nature of employment and work, the employer-employee relationship, issues with pay and working conditions, and the actual circumstances of migrant laborers on construction sites are all covered in the study. Ultimately, the study comes to the conclusion that appropriate suggestive measures should be provided to educate the migrant population about their rights, safety, and social security benefits provided by the relevant government.
