Why are women exploited in the unorganised sector

Dear student,

Please find the answer to your query:

The following points will be helpful to you while framing your answer:

• The unorganised sector consists of casual workers; self employed persons in unorganised sector and private households;
• Other employed in organised and unorganised enterprises that do not receive fixed or regular wages, are not eligible either for paid, sick or annual leave or for any social security benefits given by the employer.
• Their terms of employment render them liable to be terminated at any time. The major portion of workforce in India is employed in unorganised sector.
• Women face exploitation in a way that they cannot take leave even during pregnancy and they have to work throughout.
• They are paid less wages as compared to their male counterparts.
• Also, sexual exploitation is also the major challenge that the women face in unorganised sector. 

Hope these points will be helpful to you and if you have more doubts then please get back to us on our forum.
