Abstract:

The thesis focussed on studying the well-being of garment sector employees in Tirupur, India using the qualitative method. The data for this thesis was collected through the qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews using open-ended questions. The study highlights both the positive and negative aspects of the work and its effect on their well-being. The research findings indicate how positive aspects of work, including social interactions, future goals and aspirations and the working environment, contributed to elevating the employees' well-being. Usually in the context of the garment sector, more attention is drawn towards the negative impacts generated by the working environment. However, not all of the employees share similar positive experiences related to the work in the garment sector which is noted in the findings and not everyone is happy with the nature of their work.
