The migrant workers having low skill are deprived of their basic rights. Further, they are working in the low paid salary and exploitative working conditions. The 8th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) is to promote inclusive growth in a sustainable way by providing respectable job with augmented productivity for all. This goal is to protect the rights of all types of the labour including migrant labour, by providing safe and secure environment. The 10th SDG is to scale-down the level of inequality both internally and internationally. It is found that the country like India fails to achieve those objectives. In this Paper, the primary and secondary data is collected from different sources for a descriptive research study. For in-depth interviews, 100 migrant workers are selected on the basis of the convenient sampling. This research aims to analyze different government policies that may facilitate the migrant workers to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract


The migrant workers having low skill are deprived of their basic rights. Further, they are working in the low paid salary and exploitative working conditions. The 8th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) is to promote inclusive growth in a sustainable way by providing respectable job with augmented productivity for all. This goal is to protect the rights of all types of the labour including migrant labour, by providing safe and secure environment. The 10th SDG is to scale-down the level of inequality both internally and internationally. It is found that the country like India fails to achieve those objectives. In this Paper, the primary and secondary data is collected from different sources for a descriptive research study. For in-depth interviews, 100 migrant workers are selected on the basis of the convenient sampling. This research aims to analyze different government policies that may facilitate the migrant workers to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.
