Abstract: Migration is typically viewed as an economic phenomenon, although non-economic factors also have some influence. Worker migration is generally defined as a cross–border movement for employment and a better quality of life in a foreign country. However, there are no universally accepted definitions of worker migration. Adolescence is a crucial time in the human development process, marking the transitional period between childhood and adulthood. The study of migration holds significant importance for the development and reconstruction of rural areas in India. People move from rural areas to urban areas because the living conditions are better in urban areas. In rural areas, they face numerous challenges, including poverty, high population density, a shortage of healthcare facilities, and inadequate educational opportunities. In this study, we examine the life satisfaction of migrated adolescent workers in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The researcher must understand the socioeconomic profile and employment patterns of the migrated teenage workers, and also analyse the attitudes of these workers regarding their habits, expenditures, and life satisfaction. In this study, statistical tools such as Analysis of Variance and Multiple Regression Analysis have been used. The researcher found that the results indicate a significant influence of demographic factors on the life satisfaction levels of migrant adolescent workers. Additionally, the overall effort was made to analyse the relationship between demographic characteristics and life satisfaction among adolescent workers in Chennai city, Tamil Nadu.
