Primarily from the Central and North Eastern states, they are forced to migrate to other states due to poor economic status back their homes. One such industry that has paved way for migrant workers in Kerala is the hotel and restaurants business. In such a scenario it‘s a matter of concern as to how their life balances and life pressures take up on them.
