Question

How does job recruitment take place through the ‘contractor system’?

✓

Answer

In the past, many workers and labourers got their jobs through contractors.
These jobbers were called as mistris and were workers also.
The contractors came from the same areas and communities as the workers, as they had the owner’s support they bossed over the workers.
However, at present, the importance of the contractors is decreasing.
