Solution : The answer is (c) Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false.

The Unorganised Workers' Social Security Act, 2008 (UWSSA) provides social security benefits to workers in the unorganized sector, such as health insurance, life insurance, and pension. However, it does not ensure a minimum wage for all workers in India. The minimum wage is set by the government through the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and is different for different occupations and regions.

Statement 1:The Unorganised Workers' Social Security Act provides social security benefits to workers in the unorganized sector.

The UWSSA was enacted in 2008 to provide social security benefits to workers in the unorganized sector, which is a large and growing segment of the Indian workforce. The act provides for a number of benefits, including health insurance, life insurance, and pension. Workers in the unorganized sector are eligible for these benefits if they are registered with the government and have made a contribution to the scheme.

Statement 2 is false. The UWSSA does not ensure a minimum wage for all workers in India. The minimum wage is set by the government through the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and is different for different occupations and regions. The UWSSA does not have any provisions for setting or enforcing a minimum wage.
