The movement of people from one place to another is termed as migration and it is a complex problem having many dimensions. Textile industry offers huge employments for the low level workers than other normal industries and thus migrated employees are found more in this sector. The study aims to find out the problems faced by migrant workers and the benefits they receive due to migration. It also throws light on cultural difference faced by migrant workers and suggests measures to the organizations for providing balanced work life for the migrant workers. Data was collected from the migrant workers in textile mills in Erode district, which employed more than 500 workers. A sample of 65 workers was contacted through Quota sampling method. Percentage method and Chi-square test were used followed for the analysis and interpretation of data. The findings of the study indicate that, migrant workers face significant number of issues like low wages, poor working conditions, and virtual absence of social protection as well as social exclusion.
