Answer
Workers in the unorganized sector face several challenges related to wages, safety, and health.
- Wages — Unorganized sector workers often receive meager wages. Their earnings are insufficient to meet basic needs. For example: many employers exploit them by paying less than fair wages and making them work longer hours without paying for the overtime.
- Safety — Unorganized sector workers often lack safety measures. For instance, construction labourers may not have proper helmets or safety gear. Jobs like mining, construction, and waste disposal involve risks. However, safety protocols are often ignored.
- Health — Some jobs (e.g., pesticide spraying, waste handling) pose health risks, but workers lack protective measures. Unlike formal jobs, unorganized sector workers don’t receive health insurance or medical benefits.
