Critical Analysis Of Government Initiatives For Unorganized Sector Workers In India

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The unorganized sector plays a pivotal role in developing economies, offering extensive employment opportunities while grappling with significant challenges such as low wages, lack of social security, and poor working conditions. This review explores the socioeconomic dynamics, mental health concerns, and gender disparities among workers in this sector. It highlights the impact of limited financial access, as seen in Assam, on business growth and performance. The Indian government has introduced several initiatives to address these issues, including social security schemes like PMSYM, financial inclusion programs such as PMJDY, and skill development initiatives under PMKVY and NAPS. Additionally, e-Shram Portal and labour reforms streamline welfare delivery. Women, a substantial workforce in this sector, face compounded challenges of economic dependence and familial responsibilities. Comprehensive strategies, including workspace planning and sensitive management systems, are crucial to improving the well-being and productivity of unorganized sector workers.
