Purpose | ಉದ್ದೇಶ

The purpose of this platform is to document and analyze the various reasons why schemes and entitlements fail to provide the necessary social security to migrant workers.

In other words, why there is a difference between what the migrant workers are entitled to on paper and what they end up receiving.

ಬೇರೆ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳುವುದಾದರೆ, ವಲಸೆ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರಿಗೆ ಕಾಗದದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅರ್ಹತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸುವ ಅಂತ್ಯದ ನಡುವೆ ಏಕೆ ವ್ಯತ್ಯಾಸವಿದೆ?

This project views this problem of social security entitlements not achieving their desired end-goals using the lens of a migrant working in the informal sector. 

ಅನೌಪಚಾರಿಕ ವಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವ ವಲಸಿಗರ ಮಸೂರವನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಭದ್ರತೆಯ ಅರ್ಹತೆಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಅಪೇಕ್ಷಿತ ಅಂತಿಮ ಗುರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸದಿರುವ ಈ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಈ ಯೋಜನೆಯು ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

 

This platform is made with the following objectives in mind
  • Serve as a comprehensive repository of information and resources related to social security schemes and migrant informal sector workers.
  • Accessible to various stakeholders, including researchers, policymakers, and the public.
  • Empower field staff at Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), equipping them with valuable insights into the challenges faced by specific segments of migrant workers.
    • CSOs can use this as a first point of reference for what workers need, what is required for them to avail various schemes, why is it that workers don't get what is due to them and what do field workers across different organisations do to make things happen.  
  • Enable sharing best practices among partner organizations involved in different sectors, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to enhance collective efforts in supporting migrant workers' access to social security schemes across the country such as construction, domestic work, waste picking, and more. 
  • Accessible to various stakeholders, including researchers, policymakers, and the public.
