Solution
- The government registers the organised sector, but it has little to no control over the unorganised sector.
- While employment is secure in the organised sector, it is unstable, low-paying, and irregular in the unorganised sector.
- In contrast to the unorganised sector, where working hours are not fixed, the number of hours worked is fixed in the organised sector.
- Workers in the organised sector receive a number of benefits, such as paid leave, payment during holidays, provident funds, etc.; however, these services are not offered in the unorganised sector.
