Social Science — CBSE Class 10 board question

Differences between Organised and Unorganised Sectors:

| Basis | Organised Sector | Unorganised Sector |
|-------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Registration | Registered with the government; follow its rules and regulations. | Not registered; do not follow government rules. |
| Job Security | Workers enjoy job security and fixed working hours. | No job security; can be dismissed any time. |
| Benefits | Workers get provident fund, paid leave, gratuity, and medical benefits. | No such benefits provided. |
| Wages | Regular salary/wages are paid. | Wages are low and irregular. |
| Examples | Government employees, factory workers in large industries. | Domestic workers, construction workers, street vendors. |

Most workers in India work in the unorganised sector where they are often exploited through low wages, long hours, and unsafe conditions. Protection of these workers through government intervention is necessary.

• Examiners expect a comparison format — either a table (ideal here) or parallel points, covering 4–5 clear differences.
• Key aspects to cover: registration, job security, working hours, wages, benefits — these are the standard points from the chapter.
• Always mention that most Indian workers are in the unorganised sector and need protection — this directly reflects the chapter's conclusion and fetches the concluding mark.
• A table saves words and looks organised; it is perfectly acceptable in CBSE board exams.
