Construction workers play a vital role in the economy of a country. However, they face several serious issues, including lack of proper training, low wages, and low literacy rates. Most construction workers receive wages that are insufficient to meet their daily essential expenses. In addition, many workers do not receive proper training and lack the required skills for their jobs. Moreover, they often have to work under harsh and unsafe conditions.This study highlights the labor conditions of construction workers and identifies the major issues faced by them. These issues will be identified through proper surveys and field visits, and suitable reforms and recommendations will be proposed to improve their working and living conditions.This work has strong market potential as it can help develop interaction and collaboration among the government, industrial companies, financial firms, investors, entrepreneurs, and academicians for implementing and promoting its outcomes in the market
The Islamia University of Bahawalpur was established in the year 1975 by upgrading historical institute of the Jamia Abbasia.
