Informal sector: Issues of Work and livelihood
B V Bhosale

India ’s economy has a different workforce in terms of size and dimensions compared to global workforce - there is both formal and informal sector which contributes to the growth and development of Indian Economy. In the past decades, it is the formal sector which has got more attention and benefits from the State compared to the informal sector; rather the informal sector has remained very much neglected by the State. It is recently that Government of India is making attempts to bring in some policy for the welfare of workers in the Informal sector. The Informal sector / “unorganised sector consists of all unincorporated private enterprises owned by individuals or households engaged in the production and sale of goods and services operated on a proprietary or partnership basis and with less than ten total workers”. The informal workers / “unorganised workers consist of those working in the unorganised sector or households excluding regular workers with social security benefits and the workers in the formal sector without any employment benefits provided by the employers” (National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector, Government of India, 2007). It was the efforts of the International labour Organisation which conducted different employment missions in different developing countries, and the first mission in Kenya in 1972 that recognised that traditional sector persisted and expanded to include profitable and efficient enterprises as well as marginal activities.
