Informal sector occupations covered | ಅನೌಪಚಾರಿಕ ವಲಯದ ಉದ್ಯೋಗಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿದೆ

The main informal sector occupations considered for this project are as follows. 

  • Construction workers | ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು : welfare schemes for construction workers are covered by state specific welfare boards.

 

  • Other informal sector workers such as domestic workers (ಮನೆ ಕೆಲಸಗಾರರು), street vendors (ಬೀದಿ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿಗಳು) and waste pickers (ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ಆರಿಸುವವರು) usually do not have any occupation specific welfare schemes and are covered under the schemes applicable to the general population based on income and/or caste criteria.

 

  • Garment sector workers (ಗಾರ್ಮೆಂಟ್ ವಲಯದ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು): lots of regulations in place yet highly prone to worker rights' violations and poor working conditions. 

 

  • Auto sector workers (ಆಟೋ ವಲಯದ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು): lots of regulations in place but prone to occupational injuries.

The choice of these occupations is a reflection of overall employment in these occupations and the communities our CSO partners work with.
