One in every four casual workers in India are paid below the statutory minimum wages, which indicates significant gaps in wage enforcement and labour protection, SBI Research said on Friday.

Situation is worse for women. Female workers constitute 45% of all underpaid casual workers despite representing only 25% of the casual workforce, while male workers account for 55% of unpaid workers while forming 75% of the workforce, indicating substantial gender disparity in minimum wage compliance.
