About this title

Synopsis

Concentrating on the informal sector of the economy—which accounts for an overwhelming proportion of the poor and vulnerable population in India—and their working environments, this analysis is based on the latest information from the 61st round of the National Sample Survey 2004–2005. Combining those results with supplemental data, this account proposes two comprehensive bills as well as a number of measures to ensure minimum work conditions and promotions of livelihoods for both the agricultural and nonagricultural laborers. This publication also includes a CD-ROM comprising three other reports from the commission: Social Security for Unorganised Workers, National Policy on Urban Street Vendors, and Comprehensive Legislation for Minimum Conditions of Work.

About the Author

National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector was constituted in September 2004 soon after UPA Government came to power in India in pursuance of its Common Minimum Programme that committed itself to ensure the welfare and wellbeing of all workers, particularly those in the unorganized sector, who constitute 93 percent of India's workforce. Distinguished economist Dr. Arjun K. Sengupta serves as chairman of the commission.
