- Abstract
This paper analyses the conditions of work and livelihood options of industrial workers in the peripheral town of Narela. The industrial labour market in Narela thrives because of displaced workers from other parts of Delhi and migrant labourers from the adjoining north Indian states. The paper focuses on different dimensions of the working conditions of wage labourers in the manufacturing/industrial sector such as: physical environment, conditions of employment such as hours of work and holidays, wages, social security, grievance settlement procedure, legislative and institutional arrangement for ensuring minimum conditions of work in the industrial sector. The study mainly relies on primary data collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). It highlights the ways in which workers built their work environment with strict labour control measures with the help of their spatial embeddedness and social ties and how this forms the vital aspect of modern industrial life.
