Study the following table and answer the questions based on it.

Percentage showing distribution of All Workers by Status of Employment: Self-employed, Regular and Casual workers in Rural and Urban Areas in different years.

The casual workers are also called as _____ sector.

Unorganised Sector

The correct answer is option 3: Unorganised Sector

Casual workers are employed:

• Without a formal contract

• With no job security

• Often without social security benefits like pension, paid leave, or health insurance

• They are usually paid daily or weekly wages and can be removed from work at any time

This kind of employment is characteristic of the Unorganised Sector, which includes agricultural laborers, construction workers, street vendors, domestic workers, etc.

• Organised Sector – Refers to jobs with proper contracts, regular salaries, and legal protections.

• Salaried Sector – Refers to regular wage or salaried employees (organised sector), not casual labor.

• Self-employed Sector – Involves individuals working for themselves, not those working casually for others.
