Abstract

The working condition of houseless population in terms of workers and non-workers, number of working hour in a day, duration of joblessness in months per year and causes of unemployment of houseless non-working population in Kanpur city have been examined in the present study. The research work is based on primary source of data generated through a comprehensive field survey in the city carried out during 2012. The ratio of houseless workers exceeds that of houseless non-workers; moreover, more than fifty per cent houseless persons (54.23 per cent) availed the employment opportunities throughout the year whereas remaining houseless people face the problem of irregular days of work in month or no work at all in a month. However, only 15.47 per cent houseless workers have been working 4 to 6 and 6 to 8 hours per day and remaining houseless workers have to do work more than 8 hours per day.
