Migrant labourers not at home in Kerala
State’s failure to register and keep a proper record of
domestic migrant labourers in Kerala has been brought to the fore as a recent study by scholars at the Gulati
Institute of Finance and Taxation show there may be at least 25 lakh migrant labourers in Kerala, most of them not
being recorded anywhere in the State.
The study was carried out on behalf of the State Labour Department and reiterated some of the basic features of the migrant population, hailing largely from Orissa, Assam, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
One of the highlights of the study is that the Tamil population, which used to be a major part of the migrant labour population in Kerala do not figure prominently.
West Bengal accounts for the largest number of migrant labourers in Kerala, followed by Bihar, Assam and Orissa.
