Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

 

The following characteristics help to identify a worker in the informal sector:

1. A worker in a business (other than government and private sector businesses) that employs 10 or less people.
2. This sector employs millions of farmers, agricultural labourers, small business owners, and self-employed people. These individuals are not employed workers.
3. Workers in the informal sector do not have access to social security benefits such as provident funds, gratuities, or pensions.
4. Apart from the Minimum Wages Act, no other labour laws safeguard the economic interests of workers in the informal sector. As a result, workers in the informal sector are particularly vulnerable to market fluctuations and have limited negotiating leverage.
