Migrants:

♤ Problem of document and identity which deprives them of social security benefits and government socio-economic programmes.

♤ Migration and slums are inextricably linked. Most slums are inhabited by the migrants. Such slums are deprived of basic healthcare and sanitation facilities.

♤ Slum dwellers who are migrants sometimes face the added challenge of establishing tenure—the right to remain on a particular piece of urban land, and the right to compensation if the dwelling on that land is seized by the government for redevelopment. Many migrants are not even able to live in slums but live at work site or pavements.
