It is stressful, demands emotional, social, cultural, educational, and economical adjustments. Migration means voluntary or involuntary movement of individuals from their native lands with the basic motive of earning a livelihood. The people who migrate are called emigrants or immigrants or migrants. Human migration experienced an upward trend after World War-II as the people were forced to deport or evacuate and thus, were displaced from their native lands. This trend further got a boost after globalization and liberalization of the world economy (Ellerman, 2005). The three main components of population change are fertility, mortality and migration, of which fertility and mortality work in biological framework, while migration depends upon economic, political, social and demographic forces in environment. The objective behind writing this paper was to understand about the scenario of Indian Migrant labours and what are the reasons of migration. This paper is based on the review of most relevant information regarding migration and migrant labours and aims to highlight the different types, causes and a framework to understand it in a better prospective by adopting an explorative research design mainly based on secondary data. Trade unions and non-governmental organizations though very small in number make sincere efforts to alleviate the problems of migrant workers. IMF initiated an effort to organize the migrant workers at the ship-breaking yard at Mumbai and along through Steel, Metal & Engineering Workers’ Federation of India (SMEFI). These migrant workers were organized in the existing union Mumbai, Port Trust, Dock and General Employees’ Union (MPTDGEU) by amending the constitution and reducing the rates of subscription. Non-economic demands like civic amenities, occupational health and safety (OHS) and social problems were taken up, were some of the finding of the research paper.
