In contemporary society, a considerable number of individuals view relocating in pursuit of improved living conditions as an optimal choice. Presently, the employment of migrant workers has become a contentious issue in various Indian states, where workers are compelled to migrate from their hometowns due to a lack of economic development, insufficient agricultural land, caste discrimination, limited job opportunities, low wages, mounting debts, and dire family financial situations. Recently, Tiruppur has witnessed a surge in the influx of migrant workers arriving from different parts of India, particularly to work in the textile industry. Despite the significant employment of migrant workers in the textile sector, the industry falls short in providing them with adequate facilities, job security, and appropriate working conditions. A valuable avenue for research lies in understanding the factors motivating individuals in the Tiruppur region to leave their homes and families in pursuit of better employment opportunities. The investigation will primarily focus on utilizing Cramer's model to explore socio-economic issues and challenges within the textile industry that impact migrant workers.
