Solution
| Sectors of Economy | Number of Labourers | Income (In Lakhs) |
| Organised Sector | 4,00,000 | 32,000 |
| Unorganised Sector | 11,00,000 | 28,000 |
| Total | 15,00,000 | 60,000 |
According to the analysis of these figures, workers in the organised sector are less engaged than those in the unorganised sector, but their income is higher. This means that unorganised sector workers are paid extremely low wages. These methods can be considered for increasing employment in the city.
- The form of education must be changed. Technical and vocational education should be provided in order to increase the number of individuals employed.
- People should receive adequate financial and technical aid before beginning self-employment.
