Abstract
Although they confront a number of
socioeconomic and occupational obstacles, unorganized women workers in
Doddaballapur Taluk in Bengaluru Rural District, Karanataka's textile sector
are essential to the local economy. This study looks into these workers' access
to possibilities for skill development, legal awareness, health and safety
concerns, and socioeconomic circumstances. Structured questionnaires were used
to gather data from 250 workers using a descriptive and quantitative research
methodology. The study examines how important variables including age, income,
education, and marital status affect opinions about pay, job security, safety,
and general working conditions. The results show that the majority of workers
have low incomes and less formal education, which limits their employment
options. There are still gaps in legal understanding and safety precautions,
despite the fact that many report job stability, fair pay, and respect at work.
According to chi-square tests, views of working conditions are significantly
influenced by age, although income and education have minimal effect. This
research work makes suggestions for expanding legal awareness, addressing
gender inequities in the business, guaranteeing greater worker safety,
improving educational access, and improving compensation structures.
