Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Internal migrants support construction, hospitality, and urban services. However, poor social security, lack of housing, and job informality hamper their well-being. Governments introduced “One Nation, One Ration Card” for portable food entitlements. Understanding how migration fuels urban growth yet can strain city resources is crucial. Also, the pandemic spotlighted migrant vulnerabilities, prompting calls for inclusive policies: rental housing schemes, skill mapping, and bridging policy gaps across states to ensure cohesive social benefits.
