Abstract
Although informal workers were
always a majority in India, they
were only ‘discovered’ with the
advent of liberalization. Their
vulnerabilities and insecurities
need to be addressed through
social security policies which
recognize their specific needs
and through laws which are not
confined to labor, but include
commercial law as well as regulations
which cover specific sectors
of the economy. However,
organizing and advocacy of the
informal workers cannot be confined
to specific needs but must
be a movement towards a better
society and a fairer economy.
