• A. For intellectual development
• B. For physical development
• C. For economic development
• D. For social development

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

For social development

The unorganised sector is generally not governed by the rules and regulations that are laid down by the government regarding the condition of employment. The government, however, monitors, protects, and supports the workers of the unorganised sector for economic and social development.

The steps taken by the government are as follows:
(i) The government can fix the minimum wage rate and working hours.
(ii) The government can provide cheap loans to self-employed people.
(iii) The government can provide cheap and affordable basic services like education, health, and food to these workers.
