Among the total respondents, 15% are from scheduled tribes and 39% are scheduled castes, which is higher than their proportion in the country’s population.

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the workers, especially in the informal sector, into a deep crisis. A recent report “Workers in the Time of COVID-19" on informal workers says that more than 78% of workers have lost their livelihoods since the pandemic-induced lockdown.

The survey by ActionAid India among 11,537 informal workers across 20 states and one union territory describes how the informal workers have been suffering since the first day of the countrywide lockdown.

According to the survey conducted during the third phase of the lockdown, more than 78% of respondents reported a loss of livelihood and that there was major reduction in the intensity of work. Two third of workers, who had at least above 40 hours work and a third of workers in all sectors (agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and service), who worked over 50 hours a week before the lockdown, have reported zero working workers after lockdown.

Meanwhile, wages have not been regular since the lockdown, with the survey saying, “Over 48% of respondents did not receive any wages after the lockdown and 17% received partial wages.”
