SUGGESTIONS FOR THE STUDY

The government uses various other means of production/social security for workers in the informal sector, such

as Swarnjayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana, SwarnJayanti Shahari Rojgar Yojana, etc. Through various

Ministries/Departments, the ministries/Departments should create awareness about the programmes and schemes

through advertisements to reach them.

The Central and State Government Should protect workers in the unorganised sector like, the government can fix

minimum wages, the government should provide specific working hours, the government can enact new laws on

overtime and salary range, provide cheap loan with low interest and open small-scale industry.

CONCLUSIONS

Due to the many problems faced by unorganized workers, such as low wages, worker exploitation and cruel conditions, the




Indian legislative system helps various provisions covered by the Indian Constitution to protect the rights of unorganized

workers. The Government of India takes a step forward by enacting the 2008 Unorganized Social Security Act, a law to

provide underlying social security to unorganized workers working in unorganized sectors. I took a step forward. The

central government is under the required section and the state government is under the designated section due to the

failure of proper implementation of the law, sometimes the judiciary is to protect the rights of unorganized workers

Moving forward Unorganized workers are certainly outside the scope of social security measures. If the unorganized

sectors really consider the guidelines given by the Central and State Governments and implement the same, the

dissatisfaction level of the workers will get reduced. The unorganized sectors should take more initiatives regarding the

workers‟ welfare and social security should be periodical follow up about the welfare measures in the organization, to

constantly boost up the morale of the workers, which would indirectly help towards the better achievement of the

unorganized sectors objectives.
