Workers in the unorganised sector need protection from which issues? Discuss in detail.

Workers in the unorganised sector need protection on the issues of wages, safety, health, etc.

1. Wages: In the unorganised sector, long working hours, low wages and no provision of overtime are common. Wages in all sectors should be as per government rules.


2. Safety: The safety aspect is often ignored in the unorganised sector. Safety norms should be strictly followed in hazardous conditions of work. Life insurance can be of great use in this sector.


3. Health: In this sector, workers work in very poor conditions with no provision of safe drinking water, medical facilities, etc. This deteriorates their ability to work. Health insurance should be made mandatory in such cases.
