How does circulation of labour lead to footloose labour?
Answer»
Commercialization of agriculture led to the growth of migrant agricultural labour that circulated between their home villages and more prosperous areas.
Migrants were more easily exploited by the wealthy farmers and were usually not paid the minimum wages.
These migrant workers were terms as’ footloose labour’ by Jan Breman. • Migration and lack of job security have created very poor working and living conditions for these workers.
