Abstract
Abstract Social security initiatives are expected to enhance the well-being of vulnerable sections of the population by addressing the risk of poverty. This chapter examines the risk profile, awareness level, coverage, and implications of social security schemes on the quality of life (QOL) of the stone crushers in the adjoining states of India. Micro field survey observations suggested that more than half of the workers were aware of the employment, political, financial, demographic, and occupational risks related to their working environment. Many of them were unaware of the relevant labor legislation and different social security schemes dedicated to them. Over half of the workers opted for at least one social security scheme. Empirical results also reveal a significant variation in the attainment of objective dimensions of QOL between households included under social security vis-à-vis excluded households.
