💨 Abstract

The Tamil Nadu State Planning Commission has released a report on migrant workers in the Chennai region, revealing long working hours, low wages, and difficulties in accessing social welfare schemes. The report suggests policies to prevent harassment and discrimination, and improve access to benefits for migrant workers, who predominantly hail from Bihar, Odisha, and the Northeast. The construction sector employs the most migrant workers and they work the longest hours.
