Please write me an essay on diginity of labour ​
stellarik [79]

E<u>ssay on diginity of labour ​</u>

We humans need to work somewhere in order to survive or fulfil the basic needs of food, clothes and shelter. In India, the population of labour is very high as they are available at very cheap rate as compared to other countries. They work so hard to earn their living but still, they face so many problems in work as they are paid very less.

Their demand is very high but still don't get that much respect in any nation and are always exploited. They are far away from many of the facilities. Their dignity is always a question mark. It is very important for everyone to realise their value as they are very helpful for us. They must be respected by everyone. In schools, colleges and in workplaces, a sense of dignity of the labours must be conveyed to all of the students / employees.
