520 _a"The national lockdown to contain the Covid-19 pandemic in India resulted in the loss of work and displacement of thousands of urban migrant workers. This book records the arduous journey home for many of these workers and analyses the grave effects the pandemic has had on jobs, livelihoods, and the health of urban migrant workers. A rich compilation of deep analytical articles by journalists, academics, lawyers and social activists, this book explores various facets of the crisis as it unfolded. It examines welfare policies of state and central governments and discusses the role of the judiciary and the public policy response to unemployment, health risks and mass migration of workers. It also offers readers a better understanding of the complexities of the migrant crisis, how it unfolded and how it was addressed by the media. This timely and prescient book will be of great interest to the general reader as well as researchers and students of media studies, journalism, sociology, law, public policy, labour and economics, welfare economics, gender studies, and development studies"--
