Comprehension:

Read the passage and answer the questions given below it.

Construction and trade are the two sectors that share a dominant part of informal employment with 76 per cent and 72 per cent respectively of all the workers in the non-agriculture, informal sector. Nearly 25 per cent of India's urban employment is dominated by four informal trades: domestic workers, home-based workers, street vendors, and waste pickers. Over 90 per cent of workers in India are in the informal segment, which gives a significant share to the economy. More than 90 per cent of women workers are employed in the informal sector. Some of the reasons for this could be the flexibility of time and work in the home-based units. Further, women are employed in the informal sector because they are considered to be a cheap source of labour. However, the informal sector does not guarantee economic security, legal protection, equal and fair wages and workers' rights. The workers in this sector therefore land in a very vulnerable situation as the labour legislation or trade union organisation cannot reach there.

a. it pays lower and unequal salaries.
b. workers do not get security of work.
c. it has fewer opportunities for movement.

a. 1. about 72
b. less than 25
