Based upon a study of women's migration for garment and domestic work in India, I lay out the labor supply chain assemblage (LSCA) as a framework for understanding how workers find employment across multi-site, dynamic trajectories. Migration into temporary employment requires workers to move between jobs on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, studying labor supply chains as fluid assemblages defined by labor market conditions, component elements, and various agents provides a methodology for analyzing frequent job searches, across recruitment geographies, that include a range of recruitment actors. By accommodating temporal, territorial, and relational analysis, this approach provides insight into how labor migration processes for migrant garment and domestic workers in India articulate with the development of markets, working conditions, and social hierarchies – including on the basis of gender and caste. – Reproduced Labor migration, Recruitment, Garment, Work, Domestic work, Gender, Caste, Contingent work. 36131 Social and Legal Studies LABOUR MIGRATION AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 396566 IIPA IIPA 2023-02-28 31(6), Dec, 2022: p.807-828 AR128151 2023-02-28 AR
