Identify and discuss briefly the types of employment sectors indicated.
Show Hint
The street vendor is informal sector work, and the large office is formal sector work. Formal means a public unit or a private unit with 10 or more workers.
Step 1: Look at the two images:
The first image shows a street vendor on a bicycle, carrying bags to sell on a foggy road.
The second image shows many people working at desks with files and computers in a large office.
Step 2: Identify the first sector: Informal sector:
A roadside seller works on his own or in a very small unit.
The informal sector covers private units that employ fewer than 10 hired workers.
Workers there often have no job security, no regular income and no pension or provident fund. They can be dismissed without any payment.
Step 3: Identify the second sector: Formal sector:
A large office with many staff is an organised workplace.
The formal sector covers all public sector units and private units that employ 10 or more hired workers.
Workers get regular income and benefits such as provident fund and pension.
Final Answer:
The images show the informal sector (street vendor) and the formal sector (organised office). The formal sector gives secure jobs and social security, while the informal sector does not.
