Why may women and older persons be more insecure in the informal sector?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because social security and stable contracts are often weak

The direct answer is B: women and older persons may be more insecure in the informal sector because social security and stable contracts are often weak. Informal work may lack written contracts, paid leave, pension, health insurance, maternity protection, predictable hours, or reliable payment. The reasoning is: without a stable contract, a worker may find it difficult to claim rights; without social security, illness, old age, pregnancy, or job loss can create serious financial stress. Women may also face unpaid care duties and discrimination, while older persons may face health and employment limitations. Option A is wrong because informal work does not always provide high wages; income can be irregular or low. Option B is correct because weak protection and unstable employment are central reasons for insecurity. Option C is too absolute: work may be available, but it may not be regular or secure. Option D is wrong because many informal jobs require skills, even when training and recognition are limited. The exam cue is social security: benefits and protection that reduce risk for workers.
