Abstract

Urbanisation is attributed to the “Mobility Revolution”. Following this, 2011 Census reveals that the level of urbanization in the country as a whole increased from 27.7% in 2001 to 31.1% in 2011. As per 2011 census, the process of urbanization is registered a high record in the three largest cities of India, Delhi , Mumbai and Chennai. Migration helps in growing the urban informal sector assists in the process of urbanization. New industries, construction works and other opportunities of work in urban areas in the cities stimulate the shift of labour from rural to urban areas in the metropolitan cities like Delhi. The paper emphasis on the relationship between urbanization, migration and informal sector, as urbanization causes a lot of migration in the informal sector in the metropolitan cities like Delhi, caused by the factors such as easy entry, skilled and unskilled strata get the employment opportunities especially the lower strata of the society and much more benefits provide by this sector that sustain the metropolitan cities as an attractive destination for migration. The focus of the paper is to examine the key factors that influence work participation of migrants in the informal sector in Delhi and also tries to explore whether the migrants assist through the process of urbanization in breaking the spatial (Rural-Urban) and social (Caste, Gender, Ethnic, & Religion) barriers of interaction among the workers in the Informal Sector.
