ABSTRACT
The unfortunate socio-economic conditions of women workers on construction sites in major cities have become far worse than previously thought and seen.This was corroborated by the field survey conducted in construction sites of Bangalore city.The construction sites taken for survey were the new multi storeyed buildings from Bangalore Mysore Road, Kengeri and UllalUpanagara Koramangala and JP nagar.For this study 150 samples of migrant women workers were collected.The other factor was all of them were from scheduled castes .The rationale behind the study was firstly to find out if their conditions have improved post pandemic and secondly to understand how farthe government schemes and welfare boards have served their purpose? Has all these social security measures alleviated their problems to a certain extentnor not? The main objective were to find out if their socio economic status changed after migration and to find out if there was any possibility to avail help from the government schemes other than Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bhima Yojane and Prsdhan Mantri Suraksha Bhima Yojana or get help from NGO’s. Research gap showed that there was many shortcomings for these distressed groups as they were sidelined repeatedly but why was it so.? Did they avail of 1% cess meant for construction workers.? Research Methodology followed was using both primary and secondary data though it was a primary study. Descriptive analysis was followed. Simple random sampling was carried out and percentage method was used for data analysis. The findings indicated that most of the time they were not paid the full amount, often fell sick besides there was no prevention for the on site accidents and no immediate medical help was forth coming. Conclusion showed that this problem of distress migration arose because of severe drought conditions in many north Karnataka states and their inability to work as agricultural labourers as big farmers preferred to use tractors. Socially and economically they were a totally repressed lot and suffered more post pandemic in their quest to sustain themselves and their families.
