Millions of people make their living as workers in the unorganised sector, which employs millions of people despite the lack of formal contracts and uniform working standards. When it comes to obtaining welfare facilities, workers in the unorganised sector face numerous obstacles. As a result, labourers struggle to find possibilities for skill development and social security in addition to addressing their basic necessities. In order to effectively tackle these complex issues, a comprehensive strategy that takes into account the particular characteristics of the unorganised sector is required. Customised solutions are crucial in ensuring fair access to welfare services for this essential workforce segment. The objective of the study is to analyse the impact of labourers’ problems in accessing welfare facilities on their performance in Kerala. Descriptive research method and convenience sampling technique have been adopted in the study. The sample of the study is 120. Simple percentage analysis, Chi-square analysis and correlation have been applied in the study to reach the findings of the study.

Therefore, it is essential that businesses and workers work together to remove these obstacles by optimizing procedures, strengthening public awareness initiatives, and pushing for better representation.
