'You cannot build a skilled society on low-cost labour’
-The Indian Express
At the inaugural Indian Express Thinc Migration series presented by Omidyar Network India, moderated by Udit Misra, deputy associate editor, panelists discussed the crisis in India’s internal migration.
On migration patterns
S Irudaya Rajan: In the 2011 census, India had 450 million migrants. We have policies in the country to increase migration, and policymakers and economists, who believe urbanisation will lead to economic growth. This is reflected in the Smart Cities Mission; 100 cities are being promoted. There are three types of migrants — one that moves between the states, then within districts and then within the state. If you put that number at 600 million, we have 140 million as inter-district migrants, 400 million are intra-district, and 60 million are inter-state. Urban mobility is 40 per cent. With increasing urbanisation, we are going to have more migration.
On Covid and migrants
Ravi S Srivastava: The pandemic did not hit everyone, but it hit circular migrants.They are vulnerable because of their position in the job market — whether they work on daily wages or are self-employed. They work in cities but still have a foothold in rural areas. In 2004-05, nearly half of the informal workforce in the non-agricultural areas consisted of circular migrants. By 2017-18, every three out of four such workers consisted of these migrants. The pandemic was a multifaceted shock (for them). It was a health shock, it was an economic shock, and it induced food insecurity. The impact was not only on their lives as they moved back to the rural areas, but also on the industrial and urban economies that saw a huge gap. The migrant workers today do the dirtiest, most dangerous and difficult work in any industry. Do we look at them only as a cheap source of labour or as a productive asset in our society?
