  • 99.5% of people in the unorganized sector work in agriculture.
  • Agricultural activities involve a large number of small-scale farmers, labourers, and workers. These individuals often operate independently or in small family units, lacking formal organisation or structured management. This makes agriculture an unorganised sector.
  • If we look at the country as a whole, we find that 82.73 % of the workers in India are in the unorganised sector. Organised sector employment is available to only about 17.26% of the workers in India.
