Descriptive Analysis of Rural Migrants & Health Issues in Telangana State
Subject area: Management and Commerce · Area of research: Economics
Abstract
Rural migration in India, in particular Telangana, resulted in a high surge of health problems in rural migrants. These are the agricultural migrants who move into cities and towns to seek improved job opportunities with better living conditions. However, inadequate living conditions, poor sanitation facilities, and improper accesses to clean water exacerbate their health problems. Since they work in construction sites and factories, they are vulnerable to health hazards, causing occupational health problems such as musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders. The health risks are further compounded by limited access to healthcare services, mainly because of the language barriers and lack of papers or finances for medical care. These are serious health challenges with key implications for public health since the health impact is not limited to the migrants but extends to the wider population. A multi-dimensional approach in tackling these health challenges focuses attention on improving living conditions, enforcing occupational health and safety, and increasing access to health care facilities.
