Abstract

In the modern world, changing locations in search of a better living is seen as the ideal alternative by a great number of people. Today, the employment of migrant workers is a matter that is being vigorously disputed in several of the states that make up India. The workers are forced to migrate from their native places because there is a lack of economic development, there is not enough agricultural land, there is caste discrimination, there are no employment opportunities, the wages are low, debt is mounting, and the family's financial situation is pitiful. In recent years, Tiruppur has seen an increase in the number of migrant workers arriving from all across India. These people come to work in the textile industry. The textile sector employs a significant number of migrant workers, yet the industry fails to provide these workers with suitable facilities, job security, or proper working conditions. It would be beneficial for researchers to investigate the factors that lead people residing in the Tiruppur area to leave their homes and families in quest of better job opportunities. The use of Cramer's model serves as the primary focal point of the investigation, which focuses on the socio-economic issues and challenges in the textile industry that affect migrant workers.
