Abstract

This Development Viewpoint reports on research on labour conditions in the organised medium- and large-scale segments of the construction sector in the greater Delhi area. The ESRC-DFID Research Project on “Labour Conditions and the Working Poor in China and India” conducted this research based on direct surveys of construction workers and in-depth interviews and focus-group discussions with key informants in the sector.

This Development Viewpoint draws on research project reports by Professor Ravi Srivastava, who led the fieldwork and survey efforts in the National Capital Region of India.
