Sectors of the Indian Economy
Workers are exploited in the unorganised sector. Do you agree with this view?
Give reasons in support of your answer.
Yes, I agree with this view that workers are exploited in the unorganised sector.
The reasons:
(i)The unorganised sector is characterised by small and scattered units which are largely outside the control of the government.
(ii)There are rules and regulations but these are not followed. Jobs here are low-paid and often not regular.
(iii)There is no provision for overtime, paid leave, holidays, leave due to sickness etc. Employment is not secure.
(iv)People can be asked to leave without any reason. When there is less work, such as during some seasons, some people may be asked to leave.
(v)A lot also depends on the whims of the employer.
