At least 90% of India’s workforce is employed in the informal sector, according to the International Labour Organization, working in roles like security guards, cleaners, rickshaw pullers, street vendors, garbage collectors, and domestic help.
Most do not have access to pensions, sick leave, paid leave, or any kind of insurance. Many do not have bank accounts, relying on cash to meet their daily needs.
