Question

can we say that the self-employed earn more than the casual wage
labourers or regular salaried employees? identify a few other
indicators of quality of employment

Richa Gupta · Accepted Answer

In some cases, it can happen that the self-employed earns more than
the casual workers or regular wage employers but this does not
always hold true For example, an owner of a textile mill
(self-employed) might earn more than a computer professional in a
firm but on the other hand, a grocer (self-employed) earns much
lesser than that of the computer professional Hence, it is not
always true that the self-employed earns more than the casual
workers or regular wage employers

The following are some of the indicators of quality of
employment

Extent of participation of
employee at the workplace
Job security of the
employee (fear of losing the job)
Work schedule (number of
hours of work)
Role of labour unions
Opportunities for training
and further skill development
