520 | _aThe focus of the article is on two groups of young workers in the Indian state of Madya Pradesh. One group consists of urban youths from Bhopal slums who work in metal workshops, while the other comprises youths of rural origin performing cyclical migrations between the countryside and the flyover construction yards. Based on a long ethnographic fieldwork, the paper will show how these young men integrate into the labour market through a learning process that allows them to become labourers. It will then proceed to analyse how, as labourers, the young men develop a number of constant features in their conception of their day labourers’ condition and in their social aspirations. This will stress the fact that although these young men come from different worlds and evolve on separate labour markets, they tend to adopt a number of common values when faced with the precarious life of day labourers. | ||
