Abstract

When it comes to the unorganised economy of India, the group of women as Nagarpalika contract female workers is by far the most disregarded. In addition to the fact that they are not given any legal rights or benefits, they are deemed to be working in an informal capacity that requires little to no ability. When it comes to human rights, Nagarpalika contract female workers are at a greater risk than other workers because of the awful conditions in which they are forced to live and work. Although they put forth a significant amount of effort, they are often underpaid. Unfortunate realities for women working in the Nagarpalika contract female industry include being subjected to discrimination, exploitation, and abuse in the job. Despite the fact that everyone is exploited, women are more likely to be victims of it than males because of their gender. Unnoticed, underappreciated, and underpaid are the most common characteristics of Nagarpalika contract female workers, who are disproportionately female. The fact that a significant percentage of women who are hired as Nagarpalika contract female workers are from lower socioeconomic levels and castes has been the subject of extensive observation. Nagarpalika contract female workers are characterised by a number of characteristics, including but not limited to: ignorance, conventional attitudes, illiteracy, a lack of skills, different types of physically demanding labour, long hours for little pay, wage discrimination, no minimum wage guarantee, insecure employment, abuse, and so on. This article discusses the challenges that female Nagarpalika contract female workers in India confront on a daily basis.
