Seasonal migration of unskilled labour from Bahadurpur Block District-Darbhanga (Bihar)

Bihar has a long history of labour migration. A large number of migrant workers from Bihar are engaged in short term, casual and precarious employment at the destinations. They live and work in unsafe and unhygienic conditions. In the villages, households of migrant workers suffer from low and irregular remittances, semi--‐feudal systems, lack of access to social protection and basic services. These issues are aggravated by the disproportionate burden on women to manage the household in the absence of men.
