The Impact of Consumption and Saving on Migrant Labour in Construct Sector with Special Reference to New Panvel

This study explores the dynamics of migrant labour in the construction sector, focusing on the New Panvel region of Navi Mumbai. The construction industry in India heavily relies on migrant workers, who are often employed in low-wage, unskilled, and informal sectors. These workers, mainly from rural and underdeveloped areas, face various challenges, including poor living conditions, inadequate wages, lack of social security, and limited access to healthcare and education. This research examines the socio-economic profiles of migrant labourers, their working conditions, and the impact of migration on their lives. Additionally, it investigates the role of government policies and labour laws in safeguarding the rights of these workers, and how effectively these are implemented. The study also looks at the role of intermediaries in facilitating migration and their influence on wages and working conditions. By focusing on New Panvel, a rapidly developing urban locality, this research aims to provide insights into the specific needs and vulnerabilities of migrant construction labourers in such regions. The findings highlight the need for better policy implementation, enhanced labour rights protection, and initiatives to improve the living and working conditions of migrant workers, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and equitable urban development. A study about migrant labour in the construction sector, specifically in New Panvel, and the challenges they face in terms of living conditions, rights, and economic welfare.
