Drawing upon existing literature, we illuminate the multifaceted challenges encountered by internal migrant workers as they seek better opportunities and navigate unfamiliar environments. Living conditions, including housing facilities and sanitation, are pivotal determinants of well-being, impacting identity and emotional comfort. Adverse working conditions and inadequate compensation contribute to stress and physical exhaustion. Cultural differences, such as language barriers, influence psychosocial well-being, while psychosocial life factors like stress and anxiety are closely intertwined with living and working conditions. To investigate risk factors and their impact on the well-being of migrant workers, a research study was conducted among informal migrant labourers hailing from various unorganised sectors, including on-site construction, street vending, small-scale industry, service, and the garment and textile industry, within the Tiruchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu. Data collection was accomplished using a structured interview schedule, which encompassed 411 participants. Employing the method of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the study successfully pinpointed the various perceived risk factors. The conceptual model illustrates the interplay between the perceived risk factors and their impact on overall well-being. Policymakers, employers, and civil society must collaboratively address these factors to create environments that support the holistic well-being of migrant workers, fostering inclusivity and equity in the community.- Reproduced https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41027-024-00517-1
