      abstract = {This book focuses on the core problems of occupational  health, safety and well-being of workers in the informal  sector in developing countries, where it accounts for most  of the rural labour force and a substantial percentage of  the urban labour force. The sector is characterised by low  incomes, unstable employment and lack of protection in the  form of legislation/policies or trade unions. Though some  health and problem-solving measures have been introduced, a  focused academic effort to address the problems confronting  workers in the unorganised sector, or informal economy, is  lacking. The book evaluates workers' physical and mental  health in the context of labour migration, social inclusion  of minorities and the differently abled, provisions for  women workers, demonetisation, occupational safety for  hazardous work, and in connection with various areas of  informal work, e.g. agriculture, construction,  transportation, sanitation, tanning, the tobacco industry,  powerloom industry, surrogacy, and self-employment. It  provides a well-rounded description of and analytical  reflection on the challenges these workers face, and  focuses on social policy changes to help alleviate them.  Accordingly, it offers a valuable asset for researchers and  students interested in development studies, the sociology  of work, health and labour economics, public health, and  social work.},
