"Hard work pays off"

If you work hard for it you always get the reward. Quotes like these inspire people to put their 101% and seize what they earn. But reality is always different than the expectations.
Some unfortunate ones have to suffice with whatever they get as a reward no matter how much sweat they put into making it possible.

One such sector which is failing terribly in terms of reward and appreciation is informal sector.

Informal sector comprises of those workers who are around us whenever we need them. From driver, housemaids, plumbers, beauticians, peons, waiters, and trainers to accountants, personal assistants, IT Professionals, security professionals, and receptionist; these people work all seven days of the week just to provide us a healthy and hassle free life.

But are they being paid fairly in comparison to the hard work that they put in?

Statistics show that the middle man takes about 60% of their salary and leave them with mere 40% which is just enough to make both ends meet. These malpractices are majorly practiced by agencies which ...
... lure children from rural areas to come to cities in hope of regular income and a better standard of living. Fake dreams of a city life, where they would be able to send money back to their families is shown only to shatter them later. Falling in the trap, their living conditions become poorer. Financially weak and away from their families, their life becomes miserable where they are nothing but slaves.

As a result, they tend to run away from their jobs. Their sudden disappearance disturbs the employer's life who hired them and neither can they refund the money nor do they have any personal information of employees.

Employers are helpless as they have no means but to contact these deceitful agencies for another hiring blue collar worker.
