ABSTRACT:
India's quest for globalisation and increased economic growth has been long and arduous, more so for some than others. In the past 4 years, India has seen a massive boom in the number of infrastructural projects aimed mainly at creating job opportunities to become a global superpower, but the weakening of environmental protection has marred this progress. Most daily wage workers in India earn 30-60% of the government's prescribed minimum wage (Labour Availability on Construction Projects, 2020) and aren't aware of their rights. The main objective of this paper is to ascertain the different causes of ill health in India’s unskilled labour, determine the relationship between poor health and labour productivity and harness computational economics to alleviate the harmful impacts the workforce faces owing to pollution.
