Livelihood Patterns and Socio-Economic Conditions of Migrant Informal Workers : A Study of Bhiwani City Haryana

Country India
Abstract This study examines the livelihood patterns and socio-economic conditions of migrant informal workers in Bhiwani city, Haryana. The research is based on a descriptive design and includes a sample of 30 respondents selected from BTM Colony and Labour Colony in Bhiwani. The study focuses on identifying sources of livelihood in the informal sector, assessing socio-economic conditions, analyzing economic mobility after migration, and understanding the challenges and discrimination faced by migrant workers.
The findings reveal that the majority of migrants are engaged in informal sector activities such as daily wage labor, construction work, and small-scale services. Most respondents have migrated from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and have been residing in Bhiwani for more than 15 years. Despite long-term settlement, their economic condition shows limited improvement, indicating restricted upward mobility.
Bhiwani, as an urban center, provides employment opportunities that help migrants sustain their livelihoods. However, these opportunities are largely confined to low-paying and insecure informal jobs. While the basic needs of food and shelter are generally met, issues such as job insecurity, low wages, and social discrimination continue to affect their quality of life. The study highlights the need for policy interventions aimed at improving working conditions, ensuring social security, and promoting economic advancement for migrant informal workers.
Keywords Migrant worker, informal sector, livelihood patterns, economic mobility, occupational structure, social inequality, informal employment.
