A report by Jan Sahas on the impact of COVID-19 on migrant construction workers shows that of the 3196 labourers surveyed, 90% lost their source of income in the last 3 weeks, 62% don't have any info on govt's emergency welfare measures, 42% have no ration left for even a day
94%workers do not have the Building & Construction Workers identity card making them ineligible for availing benefits from Rs 32,000 crore BOCW fund. Extrapolated to the 55 million labourers employed in the construction sector, this amounts to an exclusion of 51 million workers
More then half the workers earn just Rs 200 to 400 perday to support an average family of four persons. The central govt's daily wage increase of Rs 20 for MNREGA workers is of little help when 70% of the total labourers don't have MNREGA job cards.
