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. 000913103 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 12, 2019). 000913103 650_0 $$aIndustrial safety$$zIndia. 000913103 650_0 $$aInformal sector (Economics)$$zIndia. 000913103 7001_ $$aPanneer, Sigamani,$$eeditor. 000913103 7001_ $$aAcharya, Sanghmitra,$$eeditor. 000913103 7001_ $$aSivakami, Nagarajan,$$eeditor. 000913103 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPanneer, Sigamani.$$tHealth, Safety and Well-Being of Workers in the Informal Sector in India : Lessons for Emerging Economies.$$dSingapore : Springer, ©2019$$z9789811384202 000913103 852__ $$bebk 000913103 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-8421-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000913103 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:913103$$pGLOBAL_SET 000913103 980__ $$aEBOOK 000913103 980__ $$aBIB 000913103 982__ $$aEbook 000913103 983__ $$aOnline 000913103 994__ $$a92$$bISE
