This study was conducted to assess the magnitude of physical distress among migrant labourers. The study is based upon the sample of 240 labourers (18 years and above in age) drawn in equal numbers from four randomly selected villages and four cycle manufacturing units of Ludhiana district. The results revealed that migrant labourers whose stay was more than one year and the locals experienced more physical distress (fatigue, skin problems, miscellaneous problems) than those migrants whose stay was shorter that is one year or less. The study further indicate that physical distress was found to be significantly more among industrial labour than agriculture labour irrespective of their being local or migrant. |
