Working in the informal, or grey economy, as it's sometimes called, leaves women often without any protection of labour laws, social benefits such as pension, health insurance or paid sick leave. Women routinely work for lower wages and in unsafe conditions, including risk of sexual harassment. The study focused on examining the diverse dimensions of social security status of women workfolk in the unorganized sector. The methodology used in the investigation is empirical. A pilot study was conducted with 53 unorganized sector female employees in the Thoothukudi area. The feasibility of improvement in the interview schedule was considered. The sample size was fixed to be 183 based on the results of the pilot study. The sample respondents from the population were selected using the snowball sampling technique which forms part of non-random sampling technique. The statistical analysis of AMOS was used to determine the dimensions of social security forming part of women labor force in the unorganized sector. It is the obligation of the administration to preserve the socio-economic, working, and living circumstances of women who work in the unorganized sector, since the contribution of the sector to the GDP has been rising on a daily basis. It is remarkable to notice that the research has shed light on some social and economic difficulties related with the exploitation of women employees in the unorganized sector.
