Q154
Indian EconomyEmployment, Poverty & Human Development
What percentage of India's work force is engaged in the informal sector?
  1. a.90 per cent
  2. b.75 per cent
  3. c.93 per cent
  4. d.85 per cent

Answer: (C) 93 per cent

Answer as of 2023 — this may have changed since.

Commonly cited estimates (for example of the National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector) put about 93% of India's workforce in the informal or unorganised sector. The lower figures understate its size, and 90% is a round approximation rather than the standard estimate.
