Chapter 1 Introduction

This document is the introduction chapter of a study on the socio-economic conditions of migrant plantation laborers in selected plantations in Karnataka, India. Plantation industries employ large numbers of migrant workers and impact profits, but also provide an important source of foreign exchange. Women make up a large portion of the plantation workforce. The migrant and remote nature of plantations has led to the social and economic exclusion of laborers. While agriculture is an important sector of the Indian economy, it has experienced relatively unstable growth over the past five decades, making an assessment of past growth patterns and constraints important for improving policies and programs.
