It is the last resort of livelihood for millions of young, rural semi and unskilled labourers and it influences their decision of migration. Hence, it is essential to investigate the work and employment conditions at the destination cities. The units of analysis in the present study areyoung male and female populace who are engaged as informal labourers in the construction industry in Pune city. This Mixed-Method study intends to understand and explore not only various minute aspects of vulnerabilities related to work and employment faced by migrant youth, but also the status of social security welfare measures.
