ABSTRACT
Most of the migrant population in Mumbai comes from lower socio-economic households who after migrating get absorbed in the informal job sector, which has high-risk low-gain jobs, among which auto-rickshaw driving is one and a hazardous occupation. More than half of the auto-rickshaw drivers have faced the trauma of accidents once in their life in this profession, which can range from minor to fatal injuries. Along with the risk of accidents, there are associated health problems such as back pain, spondylitis, joint pains, gastric problems, and problems caused by air and sound pollution that leads to job-specific morbidity. Even being a migrant with low socio-economic condition tends to more vulnerability and a volatile living condition with poor health support.
