        abstract = {This study investigates the challenges faced by womanly migrant workers in the garment industry within the Tiruppur district. Driven by factors such as economic hardship, partial agricultural land, caste-based discrimination, and not enough employment opportunities in their native regions, many workers migrate to pursue better livelihoods. Tiruppur has experienced a significant influx of these migrants, especially in its burgeoning garment sector, which, despite providing substantial employment, often fails to ensure adequate working conditions, job security, and welfare facilities. Employing Cramer's V model, the research examines the socio-economic hardships encountered by these migrant laborers, prominence the complex interplay of factors influencing their migration and occupational experiences. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve living and working standards for this open to workforce.},
