Model Answer

Three measures for labour safety in the unorganised sector:

  1. Minimum wages: The government should strictly enforce the Minimum Wages Act to ensure workers receive fair and regular pay.
  1. Safe working conditions: Employers must be made to provide safe working environments, drinking water, and basic health facilities for workers.
  1. Social security benefits: Workers should be provided paid leave, medical benefits, and insurance coverage to protect them from sudden job loss or illness.

Explanation

The examiner expects three distinct, clearly stated points — one per mark. The passage highlights that unorganised sector workers lack paid leave, safe environments, regular wages, and security. Link your measures directly to these gaps. Avoid vague points; use specific terms like "Minimum Wages Act" or "Factories Act" to score full marks. No need for lengthy explanation — a heading + one supporting sentence per point is ideal.
