A Comparative Study of Ranchi Labourer Life
ABSTRACT
Labour is a social class of group comprises of those who do manual labour or work for wages. A thousand of labours every day migrate in Ranchi city and they work whole day at daily wages and back to home in evening. Here we see, there are many people who were well educated (6% male labour) like graduate or post graduate and they were working as a labour only because of lack of job and poor economical conditions. At present scenario money is important for every one’s life so everyone works for money. Labors worked mostly in unorganized sectors at daily wages and their rule is “no work no wages”. Method: A total sample of 87 normal populations (50 male and 37 female labours) were selected using purposive and consecutive based sampling method from the area of Morabadi Ground (Labour Market), Ranchi. Socio demographic data sheet and life satisfaction scale were used to find out significant difference in socio-demography and life satisfaction between male and female. Result- In the socio demographic profile, a significant group differences were found in age, education and Religion in both groups. Again, significant group difference was found in the total score of Life Satisfaction between both sex (male and female labourers) indicating male labourers had better life satisfaction in comparison to the female labourers. Conclusion: Some results showed that labourers (Male & Female) had poor life satisfaction and they are surviving with many problems like – poor education, poor health and dissatisfaction of job. Current finding shows that the male labourers have better life satisfaction in comparison to female labourers.
