Labour Migration and Exploitation:

Internal and International Human Trafficking of Indian


Migrant Labour

ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the labour exploitation of Indian migrants internally and
internationally. The scope of the study is limited to the poor, landless, unskilled or
semi-skilled labour population. The instance of child labour is not included, the
situation of labourers consenting to such migration is focussed upon. The paper
especially deals with the plight of women migrants working as domestic workers
through case studies.

The paper tries to answer whether labour migration, an important source of regional
integration and development has turned into a form of trafficking in persons due to
lack of limited public sympathy towards the vulnerable migrant labourers especially
in India which has led to labour exploitation, with severe violation of labour rights
and a labour market failure ?
