Abstract

In India there exist huge disparities across Indian states in the level of industrial development in particular and economic development in general. This has created a huge market for employment opportunities in developed states while many states are still struggling to create employment opportunities. This has led to movement of labour across Indian states from some under developed states to developed states like Punjab.. Since the green revolution which started in the state pf Punjab the state of Punjab has witnessed huge inflow of migratory labour from less developed states like Bihar/Uttar Pradesh etc. The state of Punjab has also seen significant growth in manufacturing industries since eighties and it has also generated huge demand for industrial labour which incidentally could not be fulfilled by local Punjab population. .Accordingly the state of Punjab has witnessed a large influx of migratory labour in manufacturing industries .The present paper examines the Pull factors responsible for growth of migratory labour over a period of time in manufacturing industries. Primary survey was conducted on 500 migratory labours working in manufacturing industries to identify only Pull factors associated with migration from underdeveloped states to Punjab. The technique of factor analysis is used to identify factors. The study will go a long way in devising policies for further strengthening the identified factors so that the state of Punjab is able to attract better migrant’s migrant workers. This will go a long way in improving the efficiency and growth of manufacturing industries in the state.
