Nowadays, internal migration is a fundamental and unavoidable part of the economic and public activity of the nation, given territorial uneven characters and work deficiencies, and safe migration ought to be elevated to expand its advantages. There is an excess of 10 lakh migrant workers are lived in terrible conditions and drawing poor wages in Tamil Nadu, in which only 1.15 lakh are enrolled. The facts confirm that construction division makes ready for the job of migrant labourers. Presence of in-migrants are highly visible here and there especially in developing areas of Chennai region but the accountability of such labourers living in the city is not yet determined by any other sources inclusive of a government database. Thus the researcher made an attempt to study the in-migrant construction workers in Chennai region. The primary objective of the study is to describe the health-related quality of life of in-migrant construction workers, thus the researcher adopted a descriptive research design for the present study. To assess the quality of life, WHOQOL-BREF scale with four dimensions such as Physical, Psychological, Social relationship and environmental factors. The study reveals that ensuring a better quality of life is still a distant dream among in-migrant construction workers. Finally, this study recommends for restructuring a comprehensive, universal and integrated social security system for these unorganized migrant construction workers.
