Abstract
The dominance of the informal labor market and non-standard jobs in low-income countries have been posing precarious conditions for a huge population. This paper attempts to study the deficits of standard work and potential measures to curb the vulnerability of the Decent Work concept by the International Labor Organization. Themagnitude of the vulnerability of urban daily wage workers in the Indian context is studied. The study has found that the dearth of decent work standards is persistent on
many fronts, namely, social protection, social dialogue, employment rights, and physical and mental well-being. State intervention in the labor market and accountability of all stakeholders is desired to protect the rights of daily wage laborers in India.
