Abstract

The labours education and socio-economic status is an important determinant of income earning. Among daily wage earners, the lower level of education is observed. The income earned by the regular workers is higher as compare to daily wage earners and small business workers in Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The physical mobility and electronic asset holding is more with regular workers. We found more under nutrition incidence among daily wage earners as compare to regular workers. The nutritional knowledge is also lower among daily wage labours. Due to lower income earning, they are less likely to buy the nutritious food. The access to health care facilities is lower among daily wage earners in region. The regular contraceptive use is lower among daily wage earners. The multi-nominal logit regression shows the negative relationship of causal workers with age, education; purify water, chair, tables in house and age at marriage, female sterilisation and contraceptives from chemist. It is positively co-related to trips to water, beans vegetable and health camp visits of workers. Such results are compared with regular workers in region. The alternative policies are required to improve income earning among causal workers in region. Government must start skill training to workers to increase skills. They must be provided food grains through public distribution system. Health care facilities must be provided to the workers. The health care staff must visit to slums and provide health care, contraceptive, immunisation to small children. Banks must provide loans at lower rate of interest to self-employed poor people of region. Such policies will certainly improve the socioeconomic status of the workers in Mumbai Metropolitan Region
