Who is a casual wage labourer?
Workers who are not engaged in full-time work are said to be casual workers. They do not have permanent jobs and have perks like gratuity and provident funds. The unskilled workers comprise this segment.
How will you know whether a worker is working in the informal sector?
The following features help recognise an informal worker:
1. Workers who are working in an enterprise which has 10 or fewer than 10 workers (apart from public and private sector establishments)
2. Farmers, labourers, self-employed people, and owners of small enterprises are all informal workers.
3. Workers who are not having a pension, gratuity or provident fund.
4. Workers in informal sectors are not covered under all the Labour Laws except for the Minimum Wages Act. Therefore, workers are subjected to uncertainties in the market.
