Question
Why the new opportunities of work did not always mean improved wellbeing for the people?
Solution
New opportunities of work did not always mean improved wellbeing for the people due to following reasons:
(i)In Assam, both men and women from forest communities like Santhals and Oraons from Jharkhand, and Gonds from Chhattisgarh were recruited to work on tea plantations.
(ii)Their wages were low and conditions of work were very bad.
(iii)They could not return easily to their home villages from where they had been recruited.
