Working Condition of Migrant Labourers in Non-Agricultural Sector of Urban Punjab
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
Migration is a global phenomenon. Migration is a major demographic process that has been an integral and salient feature of human history since the time immemorial. Data tells us that the labour mobility from the farm sector to non-farm sector, during a long period from the 1950s to the late 1990s, had been marginal, with very little structural transformation in employment. Since 1971 the proportion of workers in the agricultural sector has shown a decline, followed by a corresponding increase in the proportion of workers in the unorganized non-agricultural sector (Bhattacharya, 1996). High productivity agricultural areas („green revolution areas‟) continue to be important but more migrants are opting for non-farm employment because of greater returns.
