Migrant workers who were affected by the lockdown are afraid about livelihoods and health, finds new survey

-WorkingPeoplesCharter.in

Working People's Charter- a national alliance of informal sector workers (WPC) presents a preliminary survey titled “After the long marches: What do workers want?” surveying migrant workers – who returned home from big cities due to the lockdown - across some of the major states in India. This survey examines whether there have been changes in the decision of migrant workers to return to cities in order to find work. This report finds that a significant share of workers report not wanting to return to cities; moreover, a high proportion of workers who do wish to return reveal that they would only return once the pandemic has been brought under control. This indicates that the goals of control of the pandemic and economic expansion must not be thought of as being mutually exclusive.
