A Day-Labourer
A day-labourer is a person who does heavy manual labour in various fields. But he is not skilled. He has to work hard in various fields or sectors. Usually, he is employed in agricultural or construction work. He works hard only for his daily living. He gets up early in the morning and goes out in search of work. He works hard from morning to evening. He is ill paid at the end of the day. He cannot fulfil his necessaries of life with his scanty income. A day-labourer usually lives in a slum and leads a very miserable life with the members of his family. Though he works hard and engages himself for the whole day, he cannot earn more than his needs. Whenever he can earn a little bit more, his joy knows no bounds. He buys delicious food and enjoys a good meal with his family. During harvest, his work is in great demand and he earns more. But when there is less or no work, his sorrows know no bounds. Sometimes, he has to starve with the members of his family. Though the service of a day-labourer is of great importance, he is very much neglected . He is not held in due respect. So, we should have soft feeling for him. The government should take necessary steps so that he can lead a decent. life with dignity.
