URBANIZATION INDUSTRIALIZATION
The urbanization is one of the key pull factor of migration, contrary to con-
ventional wisdom on urbanization and migration, high rate of migration
into urbanized area have continues despiterising level of (formal) unem-
ployment and persistent urban poverty
Until a decade ago, the only migrant workers were those from Tamil
Nadu, butnow, unskilled and semi-skilled workers are from other
states like Bihar, Jharkhand,Chhattisgarh, Orissa, West Bengal and
the North-east are filling the key avcuum in the states work force
Wherein Assam people migrates more and then next comes West
Bengal and Utter Pradesh.This is mainly because the wages that they
are being paid these places are too low to keep the both ends meet
and also as Perumbavoor offers them upto 50 percentage of higer
wages for the same amount of work.

IDEA OF COMMUNITY AND LIVING
Fig showing immigrant workers occupation type
Function is the basic factor that forms a community. Primary occupation is
the function in this case. Immigrant workers are mostly groups are formed
and are clustered together according to their occupation type.
Self employed Industrial workers Daily wage workers
Most of the immigrant workers are working on a daily wage basis and self
employed ones are the least. Industrial workers resides over the industry
premises. People are again grouped as family and bachelors. House owners
tends to hire bachelors rather than family, so that they can be accommo-
dated easily without a concern for privacy and due to doubt in the authen-
ticity of the family.

IDEA OF COMMUNITY AND LIVING

The feeling of community is not that strong anywhere other than Bengal colony and Bhai
market. Residential spaces are not allotted to family because of the lack of authenticity. Resi-
dent Keralites have some sort of affinity towards immigrant workers.
Their children are studying in near by government schools, mostly Kannanthara govt. UP
school and Hayathul islam high school. Education is provided through govt schemes such as
Roshni awas yojana.
Bhai market and Bengal colony are the main active community hubs where people from all
along Perumbavoor gather together. The place is mostly active on weekends at night. Food is
the main factor that attracts people from all around the city. Eateries, restaurants, tv streaming
areas and games such as caroms and ludo attracts them.
