Globalisation has produced both opportunities and challenges and the precarities of migrant labour in India’s real estate sector is a case in point. The industry is one of the largest seasonal employment providers in the country. The present study investigates the position of seasonally employed construction workers in Lucknow’s (the capital city of the State of Uttar Pradesh, India) real estate industry and the outreach of policies designed for the welfare of these workers. The central research problem that it addresses is that while welfare policies for the migrant workers are an institutional response to manage socio-economic adversities emanating from real estate sector, these programs suffer from a serious lack of implementation.Keywords
