Abstract

This research investigates the socio-economic conditions of daily wage earners, using a comprehensive approach to uncover the diverse factors influencing their livelihoods. Combining surveys and interviews forms the methodology, offering a detailed understanding of their experiences across varied socio-cultural and economic contexts.

The daily wage earners are workers who do not have a regular or fixed income, their earnings are based on daily contractual obligations. It may vary greatly from day to day. The survey has been done based on a survey of 75 such workers who mostly work as porters, in hotels, and as rickshaw pullers.

These findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the socio-economic conditions of daily wage earners, providing insights for policy decisions, social programs, and advocacy efforts.
