Explanation
- The unorganized sector includes workers like construction labourers, street vendors, domestic workers, and casual workers who have no formal employment terms.
- Key distinction: Organized sector = registered, regulated, with job security; Unorganized sector = unregistered, informal, exploitative conditions.
- The textbook states: "A large proportion of labourers in India are working in the unorganised sector" and "workers in the unorganised sector need protection on wages, safety and health."
- Do not confuse with Primary sector (nature of activity) — the question asks about employment condition, not type of activity.
