The survey questioned 1,076 respondents including domestic, construction and industrial workers and security guards about their wages, work conditions and social security

Over 95 per cent of unskilled workers in Delhi are denied the minimum wage notified by the state government, a survey released on Monday by a civil society organisation has found.

The survey, “Accessing minimum wages: Evidence from Delhi”, conducted by the Working People’s Coalition (WPC), found that about 46 per cent of the respondents earned monthly wages between Rs 5,000 and Rs 9,000.

When the survey was conducted in January and February this year, the prescribed monthly minimum wage in Delhi was Rs 16,064 (about Rs 618 a day for 26 days a month). It has since been raised to Rs 16,506 (about Rs 635 a day).

The survey questioned 1,076 respondents including domestic, construction and industrial workers and security guards about their wages, work conditions and social security. Of those surveyed, 43 per cent were women.

Some 98 per cent of women workers and 95 per cent of male workers receive wages below the minimum wage, and around 74 per cent were unable to save even Rs 500 a month, the survey found. More than 90 per cent of the workers had no social security.

More than two-thirds of the workers were unaware of the laws that protect their right to decent wages, safe working conditions and social security, the survey found.
