Abstract ABSTRACT
Unorganised women workers in the textile industry of Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, play a vital role in the local economy but face several socio-economic and workplace challenges. This study investigates the socio-economic conditions, health and safety concerns, legal awareness, and access to skill development opportunities for these workers. Using a descriptive and quantitative research approach, data was collected from 150 workers through structured questionnaires. The study explores key factors such as age, education, marital status, and income and how they impact perceptions regarding wages, job security, safety, and overall work conditions. The findings reveal that most workers earn low wages, with a large portion lacking formal education, restricting their career opportunities. While many report job security, fair wages, and respect in the workplace, gaps remain in terms of legal knowledge and safety measures. Chi-square tests suggest that age plays a significant role in shaping perceptions of working conditions, while education and income have little impact. The study offers recommendations for improving educational access, enhancing wage structures, ensuring better workplace safety, raising legal awareness, and addressing gender disparities within the industry.
