No stand-off between our views, Mr.Nagarkar, as our vantage points of answer to the same query are totally different, I think. Paid employment came to be recognized as an essential and inevitable aspect of communal living because of the naturally inequitable distribution of the factors of production viz., land,labor and capital. When the fourth factor viz., " management " slowly gained dominance in the wake of industrial revolution and globalisation, the adhoc relationship of master and servant metamorphosed into that of a fiduciary relationship of employer and employee. However, the nature of certain incidental activities in any organized establishment like a factory or elsewhere in the society still permits the system of daily-wage engagement. Ironically, this kind of multitudinal labor is less organized and very much susceptible to exploitations of every kind. That's why the State has to embark on restrictive legislations like the Minimum Wages Act,1948. Of course, we have to admit the fact that more the number of employments brought into the schedule of the Minimum Wages Act,1948, the less the existing labor become organized. The question raised in the thread is indicative of the above sordid fact and hence my above answer.
