Migration has emerged as a major socio-economic coping mechanism for distressed rural households in India. Women constitute a significant proportion of internal migrants, particularly in the brick‑kiln and construction sectors, which largely depend on unskilled labour. This paper presents an extended, detailed, and data‑rich analysis of 300 migrant women labourers working across Rajasthan. It highlights the socio‑economic profile, labour conditions, wage inequality, reproductive health concerns, and social consequences of rural‑urban female migration. Findings reveal a striking combination of financial exploitation, gender‑biased labour relations, hazardous work conditions, malnutrition, and absence of social protection. Although migration improves short‑term income, it reinforces patriarchal control and exposes women to multi-layered vulnerabilities. The study recommends urgent policy reforms to safeguard women migrant workers under national and state labour welfare frameworks.
