India’s informal economy plays a crucial role, employing nearly 85% of the workforce and contributing nearly half of the GDP. Despite its importance, this sector faces significant challenges:
1) Job Insecurity: Informal workers often lack stable employment contracts, leaving them vulnerable to job losses due to market changes.
2) Low Wages: Over 94% of informal workers earn less than Rs 10,000 monthly, leading to widespread financial instability.
3) Poor Working Conditions: Many informal workers are exposed to unsafe environments with minimal protection.
4) Limited Social Benefits: This workforce's access to healthcare, social security, and welfare schemes remains limited.
