In spite of India’s considerable development over the past few decades, the majority of the country’s urban workforce remains informally employed. Those working in the informal sector—as street vendors, construction workers, fishermen, artisans, domestic workers, etc.—face lower earnings and higher risks than formally employed workers, in part because of the uncertain nature of their jobs. Indeed, the opportunities for earning a wage may vary drastically from one day to the next. This exhibit demonstrates the hard work, resourcefulness, poverty, and stop-and-go lifestyle of those working in India’s informal sector.
