Informal sector occupations covered

The main informal sector occupations considered for this project are as follows. The choice of these occupations is a reflection of overall employment in these occupations and the communities our CSO partners work with.

Construction workers: welfare schemes for construction workers are covered by state specific welfare boards.
Other informal sector workers such as domestic workers, street vendors and waste pickers 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: lots of regulations in place yet highly prone to worker rights' violations and poor working conditions.
Auto sector workers: lots of regulations in place but prone to occupational injuries.
