Urban Livelihoods — Social Science STD 6 — Question

Small workshops and factories need casual workers for big profits and less investment. Casual workers are called for when the employer needs them. They are employed when the employer gets large orders or during certain seasons. If they complain about pay or working conditions, they are asked to leave any time. They are also expected to work very long hours. If there is the need to finish a work urgently then these workers are called for work even on Sundays. All these factors are in favour of small workshops and factories. Therefore they employ casual workers.
