Many people on the streets of Indian cities are what Jan Breman has termed, ‘footloose migrants’: people from impoverished rural areas who find low-paid and insecure jobs in cities on construction sites, as rickshaw pullers, in wedding catering parties or in roadside eateries. There are also homeless families who have lived on the streets of cities for generations. People from both contexts often rely on informal labour networks to find jobs.
IHRN explores labour conditions of homeless people in the informal economy to draw connections between economic insecurity, migration and homelessness.
