Understanding Migration Patterns and the Socio-economic Profile of Workers in the Brick Kilns of Rajasthan - Part I

[Brick Kiln Database - Publications]

This report is the outcome of a research study carried out by PCLRA in 200 brick kilns in the districts of Ajmer and Bhilwara in Rajasthan. These kilns are seasonal and attract a large number of migrant workers-both inter-state and intra-state-every year for work. The study, planned for a period of four years, is an attempt to understand their migration patterns and gain an understanding of their socio-economic status. This is Year 1. The research is part of a larger intervention, supported by the European Union, to empower Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to promote decent work conditions and green bricks in India's brick kilns.
