Urban Livelihoods

Subject: Social Issues

Book: Civics - Class 6 (Social and Political Life - I)

In contrast to rural livelihoods, urban occupations often revolve around industrial labor, service sectors, and small-scale businesses. Students explore how workers in factories, retail shops, or transportation services contribute to city life. The topic also covers self-employment in urban markets, such as street vendors and small traders, illustrating the hustle of daily city commerce. By examining challenges like overcrowding, pollution, and competition for jobs, learners understand the dynamic but demanding nature of urban life. This knowledge fosters empathy for workers and highlights the importance of labor rights and social security.
