Migration has been going on since years. But don’t you think, in the recent few years the frequency of migration was hit by the new government norms on visas and movements like Brexit.
Platforms and migration relationship is even more important for informal/illegal migration or even internal migration. Visas and Brexit etc matter more for formal/official migration. In fact, in presence of such regulations, role of platforms becomes even more important as low cost access to 'product and services' for migrants who may be forced to adopt illegal means.
another example of empowering migrant workers is an app developed by Vigyan Foundation https://www.vigyanfoundation.org/, an NGO based in Lucknow. The App is called Uttar Pradesh Dehari Majdoor Sangathan and it helps register workers within the union database and thereafter workers are intended to be educated about and linked to govt welfare schemes and progs for workers . The focus is mostly on construction workers and domestic workers. FES India has been actively engaged with this App.
Thats great work by Vigyan Foundation.I am sure that the internal migration matters more especially in terms of present economic hardships, rural distress and climate change. FES has been a great help in making resources specially digital accessible to disadvantaged section of the society. Keep up the good work.
Sir, you have correctly pointed out the reasons and process for their migration and how platforms can assist them to get back to track, post COVID. Well, earlier not only us but these migrants were also Compass Explorers they only know the direction but where they don’t know, but now by the help of Platforms they might be moving towards the Map Travellers way.... What you think about it? As far as us are concerned, many of we are Compass Explore in the Sea of Life.....and some are Map Travellers as well...... if they are quite lucky to get hold of the Map well in advance.
Nice read Coach! As informative as always.

Technology has been an enabler for migrants and have certainly accelerated the migration in certain geographies.
On Map vs Compass, I would recommend a free flowing compass approach ! Stay blessed.
