Spatial labour mobility syntax: Argument for informal sector activities

The present study is an effort to focus on the nature and process of spatial labour mobility in case of informal sector occupations. In this sense, the study objects to detect the factors that determine labour mobility processes and their influences on the processes. To reveal this, the study is confined to a few informal sector occupations, namely the Gems and Jewellery industry, the Zari and Embroidery industry, the Handloom industry, and the Clay pot making industry in specific sitesin West Bengal, mainly in Kolkata, North 24 Paraganas, Howrah, Hooghly and Nadia district. The sites have been selected on the basis of their importance to the map of the industries. To reveal this, the logical argumentation is based upon literature support, case studies conducted, and the sample survey results. The micro-level field studies, sampling design and data analysis are based on the standard model approach in order to avoid spatial homogeneity.
