&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Almost 24% of the respondents reported having earned no wages in the unlock phases and close to 50% said that their monthly wages were less than Rs 5,000.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A fact sheet produced by ActionAid Association India following its surveys focussing on informal workers has exposed the inadequacies of the governments that are failing in improving workers&amp;rsquo; lives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The extensive report, which is a part of the organisation&amp;rsquo;s longitudinal study on the impact of COVID-19 and the lockdown on informal workers was released on Saturday. The second round of the survey was carried out in August and September this year, across 23 states and five union territories. The survey took place during Unlock 3.0 (the third phase of the government&amp;rsquo;s phase-wise reopening amid the pandemic). More than 16,900 workers were interviewed in 402 districts. The interactions covered a range of issues including livelihoods and wages, savings and expenditure, and access to social security schemes and other entitlements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;Livelihoods Lost, Debt Mounting&amp;rsquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The ActionAid data shows a significant increase in employment as compared to its first round of survey. However,&amp;nbsp; 48% of the workers surveyed said they were still unemployed. Only 10% of the workers reported full-time employment, while 42% were either employed part-time or had worked occasionally during the Unlock phases.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The report said that around 68% of the respondents reported lower and insufficient food consumption. More than 67% of the workers in the urban areas and 68% in rural areas reported that being the case.&lt;/p&gt;

The second round of the survey was carried out in August and September this year, across 23 states and five union territories. The survey took place during Unlock 3.0 (the third phase of the government&amp;rsquo;s phase-wise reopening amid the pandemic). More than 16,900 workers were interviewed in 402 districts. The interactions covered a range of issues including livelihoods and wages, savings and expenditure, and access to social security schemes and other entitlements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;Livelihoods Lost, Debt Mounting&amp;rsquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The ActionAid data shows a significant increase in employment as compared to its first round of survey. However,&amp;nbsp; 48% of the workers surveyed said they were still unemployed. Only 10% of the workers reported full-time employment, while 42% were either employed part-time or had worked occasionally during the Unlock phases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The report said that around 68% of the respondents reported lower and insufficient food consumption. More than 67% of the workers in the urban areas and 68% in rural areas reported that being the case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.newsclick.in/informal-sector-workers-continue-struggle-low-wages-high-debts-actionaid-report?fbclid=IwAR3UapiaNjBWwOec-FbmXTx9QL6I2aUAULSlVlBqETlMI4OKxab4E9Y_AtY&quot; title=&quot;https://www.newsclick.in/informal-sector-workers-continue-struggle-low-wages-high-debts-actionaid-report?fbclid=IwAR3UapiaNjBWwOec-FbmXTx9QL6I2aUAULSlVlBqETlMI4OKxab4E9Y_AtY&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;
