Question 17 of 36intermediate💡 UnderstandShort Answer3 marks

How would you distinguish between organised and unorganised sectors? Explain in your own words.

Correct Answer

The organised sector is characterized by jobs that are most sought-after, where enterprises follow rules and regulations. These jobs offer regular employment, fair wages, and security, often providing benefits like paid holidays.

In contrast, the unorganised sector consists of jobs that are not secure and have low, irregular earnings. Workers here are often exploited and not paid fair wages. These jobs lack benefits, and many enterprises in this sector evade taxes and refuse to follow laws that protect labourers.
