The average worker is a male, 18-30 years old with 3-5 dependents. One in ten has someone at home who is pregnant #VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
Over 90 percent of surveyed migrants have lost their jobs
#VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
Two in three (66 percent) say they don& #39;t have enough money to manage for more than a week #VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
Four out of five workers report that they won& #39;t be able to pay their debts and half fear violence because of their inability to pay #VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
Most workers fear that they won& #39;t be able to find work and will run out of food/ration
#VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
There is a lot of uncertainty about the future and workers don& #39;t know what to do

#VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
Majority do not know how to access benefits announced by government.

#VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
So what can we do? @jan_sahas recommends workers should be immediately registered for BOCW card. Transfers made to BOCW registered workers will miss out a huge section of construction workers #VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad
@jan_sahas also recommends immediate provision of ration and income support (unemployment insurance); restructure or waive off loans; monitor why firms are firing workers... #VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
... reduce barriers to access welfare measures and engage frontline health workers to provide support to pregnant women #VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
The report paints a depressing picture of the situation on the ground. If you are in a position to support a family or a group of workers, consider contributing to your local NGO. #VoicesOfInvisibleCitizens #MigrantsOnTheRoad #IndianEconomy #COVID19 #SupportVulnerableCommunities
