    [abstract] => The study explores the socio-economic dynamics of unorganized flower and vegetable vendors in Madurai, focused on their challenges and the impact of their work on their lives. Unorganized workers, included flower and vegetable vendors, constitute a significant portion of India's labor force; operate in informal sectors with limited access to social security and stable income. The research aimed to understand the socio-economic conditions, challenges, and coping mechanisms of these vendors, and to identify potential strategies to improve their livelihoods and working conditions. The study utilized primary data collected through questionnaires from flower and vegetable vendors in Madurai. The findings reveal that vendors face financial instability due to fluctuating incomes, lack of access to credit, and the perishable nature of their goods. Vendors also endure poor working conditions, included inadequate infrastructure and health hazards, and often lack social security benefits. The research highlights the need for interventions to support these vendors, such as facilitating access to financial services, improve working conditions, and to implement social protection measures. It also emphasizes the importance to recognize the vital role flower and vegetables vendors play in the local economy and the need to empower them for a more stable and secure livelihood.
