Report on Conditions of Work and Promotion of Livelihoods in the Unorganised Sector

By on January 01, 2007

The Commission has examined the conditions of work as well as livelihood
issues of the unorganised workers, who form the overwhelming proportion of the Indian workforce. The picture that it has presented is based on the latest available set of data from the Sixty-first Round of the National Sample Survey in 2004-05. This has been supplemented with data from other sources such as the Special Survey of Farmers carried out by the NSS in 2003. One of the major highlights of this Report is the existence and quantification of unorganised or
informal workers, defined as those who do not have employment security, work security and social security. These workers are engaged not only in the unorganised sector but in the organised sector as well. This universe of informal workers now constitutes 92 percent of the total workforce.

WIEGO's Former Board Chair Renana Jhabvala was a member of the Task Force who prepared the report.
