CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF SLUM DWELLERS IN BHUBANESWAR

URBAN MANAGEMENT

Slums are mostly produced as a result of rural resident’s unemployment, social backwardness, and poverty. Slum are typically thought of as low-income communities of marginalized people living in unhygienic, overcrowded, and unsanitary conditions of property that has been “encroached” upon, which is made worse by the absence of even the most basic public services. Slums are also physical and temporal spaces for India’s destitute rural masses. India’s slums are a result of country’s extreme poverty and hardship. The majority of slum inhabitants work in the unorganized sector. Even while unemployment is not much higher than average among homes, the concentrated distribution among young adults and women causes the household income in two thirds of the households to fall below the poverty line, which has some apparent repercussions. The goal of this study is to analysis the causes that cause people to move into slums and to understand their socioeconomic profiles and economic activities. The study is founded on the collection and critical evaluation of a wide range of data. On a sample basis, 500 slum dweller households were contracted for primary data using a standardized questionnaire. The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation and reports, documents, etc. from the government of Odisha are the sources of secondary data.
