Abstract	The bakery industry constitutes an important component of the small-scale food processing sector in Assam and provides employment opportunities to a large number of informal labourers. The present study examines the socio-economic profile and employment characteristics of labourers engaged in bakery units located in Tangla and its adjacent areas of Udalguri district in Assam. Primary data were collected from 30 labourers through structured interviews and field observation. The study analyses demographic characteristics, employment patterns, and income levels of workers engaged in bakery production and distribution. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test were applied to examine the relationship between gender and employment participation. The findings reveal that male labourers dominate the bakery workforce, accounting for about two-thirds of the total workers, while female participation remains comparatively limited. Most labourers belong to economically weaker sections and work under informal employment arrangements with limited social security. The study highlights the need for policy intervention to improve wage conditions, occupational safety, and social protection mechanisms for workers engaged in small-scale bakery industries.
Keywords	Unorganised labour, bakery industry, informal employment, socio-economic condition, Tangla, Assam.
