Livelihood and Choices Pivoting Labour Market

Akhbarnagar circle is 3 km away from CEPT which sits in the midway from AEC crossroad to Sabarmati bus station. In local terminology, it is also known as ‘kettle circle’ which falls on the junction of 132’ ring road and a road connecting Vadaj to Gota. The precinct is quite chaotic with few organic slums and activities while the major part is covered by the well-planned modular built form. There are many factors that help in the growing and declining labor market. People are now inclined to change their job rather than sticking to one job for a lifetime. People want to get employed so they develop skills, experience, and expertise to get more and more employed. Labors often work in multiple sectors so that they don’t miss an opportunity to get employed. One of the main reasons for the declining labor market is technological advancement. People often reach an organization rather than seeking for labors. 
There are various layers that set a labor market at Akhbarnagar. It won’t start at any random location in the city. Mobility became an important criterion for the labors, hence they always chose a location that has well connected public transport as well as easily accessible by the contractors. The labor market is declining gradually because of multiple reasons. Lack of jobs, supply is more than the demand, homogeneity in the profession, etc are the reasons why many of them remain unemployed by the end of the day.
