Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Workers in the unorganised sector are paid very low wages and are often exploited. Their jobs are not secure.

    1 mark

  2. They do not regularly get benefits such as medical leave, gratuity or paid holidays. Casual workers in rural and urban areas need protection.

    1 mark

  3. They also need protection from social discrimination. Many enterprises evade taxes and laws, so protection is necessary for economic and social development.

    1 mark

Answer: Unorganised sector workers face low pay, insecurity, no benefits and discrimination, so they need protection.

Where the marks are

  • Low wages and exploitation, job insecurity (1 mark)
  • No benefits for workers (1 mark)
  • Protection from discrimination, social and economic development (1 mark)
