Problems In Extending Social Security Benefits To Unorganised Sector Workers In Gujarat

Abstract

Informal Sector in India encompasses 93% employment. However, due to lack of accurate statistics, the workers of this sector remain unidentified. Identification is essential to provide various social security and welfare benefits to these workers. There are various Central as well as State Government initiatives in terms of providing social security to the informal sector workers in India and Gujarat. The present paper addresses various difficulties in extending social security benefits to the Informal Sector Workers and recommends measures for their inclusion into the social security umbrella.
