Establish the connection between circulation of labour and Footloose Labour.
Answer»
Wealthy farmers often prefer to employ migrant workers for harvesting and other such intensive operations, rather than the local working class, because migrants are more easily exploited and can be paid lower wages. This preference has produced a peculiar pattern in some areas where the local landless labourers move out of the home villages in search of work during the peak agricultural seasons, while migrant workers are brought in from other areas to work on the local farms.
These migrant workers have been termed ‘footloose labour’ by Jan Breman.
