“…The main attributing factors are attributed as constrained "living and working conditions," the lack of awareness about the preventive measures against the pandemic such as hygiene and social distancing due to the lack of proper education, lack of language and other societal skills in identifying the preventive measures and messages in the local communities which keeps them odds in the pandemic situation (Liem et al, 2020). The majority of migrant workers who work in Kerala are in the informal sectors (Chitra, 2019;Peter et al, 2020;Waite, 2001). The sudden disruption of living means due to the pandemic will directly impact the local society's survival and livelihood.…”

Migration and migrant movement are a global scenario, in which one of the main drivers, which facilitates migrant movement, is the search for better living conditions. One of the most vulnerable communities in this regard is migrant workers, especially in the developing world, who conduct cross-country migration. Labour migration is a significant national phenomenon in India in which the workers migrate across the states, which were facilitated by the interstate movement. The recent outbreak of pandemic COVID-19 poses the greatest challenge to the migrant workers who face the challenge of displacement due to the restriction of movement and public perception. One of the significant actors facilitating public discourse is the media, which explores the migrant scenario through framing. This article analyzes how the Indian newspaper portrays the plight of the migrant workers in Kerala through media framing using qualitative case analysis. The study reveals that the media frames portray the plight of the migrant workers during the pandemic situation, and the result could be helpful for policy developers on immigrant’s integration.

“…Once they come to the city, migrants usually live in vulnerable conditions (Agarwal, 2016). Further, the marginalisation highlighted by the highly disorganized and unstable nature of the interstate migrants in Kerala owing to the different character resulted from the different regional, religious and cultural and varied work settings and constant work related seasonality and mobility (Chitra, 2019).

An attempt was made to understand the extent of marginalization among in-migrant construction workers in Kerala, and the socio-economic and political dimensions associated with this marginalization. Data mainly came from an individual survey conducted among 600 in-migrants working in construction sector in Thiruvananthapuram and Ernakulum. In-depth interviews were conducted to understand the socio-economic and political dimensions of marginalization in Kerala. A composite index was constructed to understand the extent of marginalization among workers. Logistic regression models were used to understand the socioeconomic correlates of marginalization among the migrants. Around 77.7 percent of the in-migrants working in construction sector experienced severe marginalization. Of the 16 issues listed for accessing the marginalization, they had 11 or more problems. Age and education were statistically associated with the marginalization. Young aged in-migrants were more likely to experience marginalization as compared to others. Migrants aged less than 25 years, and 25-34 years were respectively 2.86 times and 2.55 times more likely to report marginalization as compared the in-migrants aged 35 years.
