Question
Workers are exploited in the unorganised sector. Do you agree with this view? Give reasons in support of your answer.
Solution
Workers are exploited in the unorganised sector. I agree with this view. The unorganised sector does not offer any job security. Neither does it allow for the scope of trade or workers’ unions. Workers can be easily exploited in this scenario. They cannot afford to rebel against an employer’s tyranny as the latter can fire them at any time.
