Q21 of 37 Page 2

Workers are exploited in the unorganized sector. Do you agree with this view? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Yes, we do agree with this view that workers are exploited in the unorganized sector. The following reasons support the answer:

1. In this sector, there are small and scattered units which are out of control of the government. Certain rules and regulations are set up by the government, but none follow the rules. People are compelled to work and not even paid on time.


2. Workers generally have fixed working hours of 10-12 hours. But, they are given fewer wages and are also not paid for the overtime hours.


3. There is no job security, and people can be asked to leave their jobs anytime.


4. Workers do not get any allowances apart from the fixed wages.


5. Usually, they are in heavy debts, and there are no such provisions in their support.
