By : Bhaskar Majumder
Page No: 421-429
Abstract
The reason why the migrant workers decided to return home postdeclaration of lockdown abruptly declared by the Government of India, was their immediate job loss. Also, they had been evicted by their landlords for non-payment of rent. The distressed migrant workers’ return home was different from reverse migration in that it was not accompanied by any informed job opportunity at the root state. This paper examines the impact of lockdown on returnee migrant workers.
