| contents | <p><strong><span>ABSTRACT</span></strong></p> <p><em><span>This study investigates the link between internal migration and Delhi’s informal labour economy through a mixed-methods approach. Surveying migrant households and conducting interviews, the research highlights that migrants—mostly young, low-educated workers—are concentrated in precarious jobs lacking contracts, welfare access, and secure housing. Findings show widespread vulnerabilities, including low wages, poor living conditions, and intensified hardships during COVID-19. The study further reveals the systemic exclusion of migrants from urban planning and welfare frameworks, underscoring the gap between Delhi’s current development model and the goals of inclusive, sustainable urbanization under SDG 11. Policy recommendations stress the need for migrant-inclusive social protection, affordable housing, and labour rights.</span></em></p> <p><strong><em><span>Key words</span></em></strong><em><span>: </span></em><span>Internal Migration, Informal Economy, Urban Vulnerability</span></p> |
