Question

how can we protect the workers in unorganised sectors?

Akankshya Mishra · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,

The workers in the unorganised sector need
protection on the following issues: wages, safety and health In the
construction sector, labourers are employed daily Hence, they have
no job security Here, wages too differ from time to time
Consequently, the government has set up a minimum wages act to
protect such workers from economic exploitation
The same problem exists for miners working in
private mining companies Their safety is secondary to the
company’s profits, and as a result, many miners suffer
grievous injuries (and many a time, even die) due to inadequate
safety gear and norms Governments of most nations have now laid
down strict rules for private enterprises to ensure workers’
safety
Most companies in the unorganised sector do not
provide health insurance to their employees Some of these might be
involved in dangerous factory production that may harm a
worker’s health in the long term These workers need to be
protected against the tyranny of the employer, and it is here that
the government steps in
