Despite the efforts of the Government, the position of the people engaged in this sector is far from satisfactory.

Hence…

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM

Bringing the sector under the albeit of partial control of Equal wages Act(Also include the unskilled labourers).

Bringing legislation in the parliament making it mandatory for unorganised sector to start with social security contributions(Inclusion of ADHAAR CARD).

SHG should be including the poorest of the poor. In this connection the real beneficiaries should be identified without any bias and benefits should reach them.

Provident fund scheme which has already started in the private sector to be extended to the lower rung of the society.

Protecting selected occupations from global competition.

Strengthen the SHGs: Centralizing SHGs and providing financial security so that they can operate on a

national scale(cover all the rural areas). Hold elections to elect representatives for the above centralized org. Monitor state level groups, provide them funds so that they can in turn

monitor SHGs at regional level.

Linking ADHAAR CARD with the unorganized sector: Labour department should register number of laborers under a particular

contactor. 10% of the pay of each worker will be deducted and will be deposited in the

bank in their name. The accounts should be registered within 5 years lock-in period(in case of

emergency money can be withdrawn). ADHAAR CARD can be used for social security which will be beneficial for

workers of any sector.

Incorporating informal sector data into the national accounts • This component raises awareness among the national

statistics offices about the importance of collecting and disseminating informal sector and employment data ,incorporating it into employment and GDP estimates.

Generate large scale employment • Set up large scale electronic goods manufacturing industries

which assemble electronic devices like mobile phones , laptops and other components. This will generate large employment converting huge section of unorganized sector workers into organized sector .

Restricting import of certain goods • Put a cap on import of goods like certain vegetables/fruits ,

various varieties of cloth which are also produced in India so that Indian producers can benefit from availability of market.

CONCLUSIONS.. According to the statistics we find that informal sector are in

majority , if these sectors are enhanced then there will be a huge improvement in the Indian economy . The definition of the informal sector is more about the ethics of the worker. Working attitude and work environment among the workers is an important aspect for the progress of the informal sector. The living conditions of the informal sector worker improves, which inturn will im also women have been contributing a major part in this sector so
