@article{suneesh_assi_2017, title={FACTORS OF VULNERABILITY AMONG THE INTERSTATE MIGRANTS IN KERALA}, abstractNote={The study examines the factors of vulnerability of migrant labourers in Kerala state. The state has been witnessing extensive inflow of migrant labourers not only from the neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka but also from states in East India (West Bengal and Orissa), North India (Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand) and Northeast (Assam, Manipur). Higher wages for unskilled labour in the state, extensive opportunities for employment and deficiency of local labour, paradoxically despite the high unemployment rate in the state, prompted the massive influx of migrant labour to the state. The paper examines the corroborative factors of the vulnerabilities of the interstate migrants in Kerala.}, author={Suneesh and Assi}, year={2017} }
