Perceptions, Challenges and Quality of Work Life among Migrant Workers: Empirical Evidence from Thrissur District of Kerala

Author(s) Dr. Sreela Krishnan, Dr. Nithin Venugopal
Country India
Abstract Migrant workers constitute a vital component of Kerala’s workforce, particularly in labour-intensive sectors such as construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and personal services. Thrissur District has witnessed a steady influx of migrant labour from various Indian states to meet growing employment demands. Despite their economic contributions, migrant workers often face low wages, insecure employment, inadequate working conditions, and limited access to social and welfare benefits. Social challenges, including discrimination, language barriers, and cultural differences, further impact their integration and quality of work life. This study aims to examine the perceptions, challenges, and quality of work life of migrant workers in Thrissur District using empirical data collected from primary sources. Key areas of investigation include socio-economic conditions, working environment, saving behaviour, and differences in daily life before and after migration. The findings reveal low satisfaction levels in income, employment security, and workplace conditions, while discrimination and language barriers emerge as significant challenges. By highlighting these issues, the study provides insights for policymakers, employers, and social institutions to develop targeted interventions that enhance the well-being, working conditions, and socio-economic integration of migrant workers.
