Statement 2: People who work in the unorganised sector, tribal people and farmers are adversely affected by globalisation.

• B. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.
• C. Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct.
• D. Both statements are correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both statements are correct.

Tribal people or poor people working in the unorganised sectors are negatively affected by globalisation. People working in this sector would not get most of the rights and benefits prescribed by government laws. These people are the ones who are not privileged or educated. So, they don’t even have access to better-paying jobs. They lack access to good nutrition and access to quality healthcare. Thus, life gets more challenging for people who are adversely affected by globalisation.
