Question

Write the conclusion on migrant labours in Goa

Answer 1

Goa has been attracting migrants from all over the country on account of its rapid growth and prosperity. The high demand for labour and the high wage rates in Goa have resulted in an influx of migrants in the casual labour market. One of the sectors that absorbed a significant number of migrants is the construction industry. This paper traces the social networks among migrant construction workers showing different phases of the labour market, including the flow of labour market related information, entry into the labour force, allocation of work at the construction sites, friendly relations among them and the flow of credit among the migrant workers in order to meet their financial requirements.
