Unorganized labour, including self-employed people, constitutes over 90% of Indian Economy. This sector contributes nearly 50% to India's GDP. Of this 90%, (about 500 million individuals) 200 million individuals fall outside agriculture and construction laborers.
Economic shutdowns over months towards COVID19 mitigation have affected the livelihood and survivability of a large proportion of Indians who are:
1) Daily-wage earners
2) Hotel waiters/cleaners/Delivery boys
3) Labourers in construction, transportation, logistics
4) Migrant population
5) House-hold help
6) Road-side vendors such as vegetable and fruit vendors, paan-walas, chai-walas
7) Urban and rural poor
8) Agricultural labourers, artisans, weavers and so on.
Even after the economy is opened up, the road to pre-COVID state is a long-haul for these people.
