A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE LAWS CONTROLLING INTER-STATE LABOR MIGRATION IN INDIA

Abstract

The legislation governing movement of workers across states in India is the subject of the essay. It is impossible to prevent migration's causes and consequences. There are several factors that contribute to the challenges brought on by the phenomenon of migration. It wouldn't make sense to assign the outcomes to just one factor. In order to lessen the sad circumstances of migrant workers, the major actors who have the greatest impact on the negative impacts of forced migration must accept moral and legal responsibility. Issues like the sexual abuse of female employees, child labour, palm-chopping of migrant labourers, and other circumstances where migrants are especially vulnerable should be given priority by the State. With the prevalence of a negligent, dishonest, and immoral system out to promote its own interests, we have no alternative but to invest our faith in the State machinery, which can elevate the standards of these poor people. The following actions, in the author's opinion, could lead to a successful execution of the Act. Employers and dishonest intermediaries cannot be allowed to indemnify themselves by the payment of a little fine that has little to no impact on them. The degree of the penalty must be commensurate with the seriousness of the offence.
