ABSTRACT

An Unorganised Sector can be defined as the sector where the elements of the Organised Sector are absent. While defining an unorganised sector we can say that it is a part of the workforce which has not been able to organise in pursuit of a common objective because of constraints such as casual nature of employment, ignorance and illiteracy, small size of establishments with low capital investment, per person employed, scattered nature of establishments, superior strength of the employer etc. In the ongoing era of globalization in India the labour market outcomes have not been uniformly beneficial or socially inclusive. This trend is particularly visible in construction sector. In respect of Delhi-NCR there has been a sudden upturn into housing construction activity. The study shows that people in the settlements do not know of the existence of the Inter State Migrants Act 1979. Neither is there any agency nor organization that takes the responsibility of following the migrants and collection of information about them. In Delhi-NCR, The vast majority of workers are in the unorganized sectors; over 71 percent of whom being migrants from other states, like, Bihar, UP, West Bengal etc. It seems impossible to keep head count of number of people coming and going out. In the above context this paper makes an empirical study on the problems facing by the migrant labours in the unorganized sector.
