Economic Problems of self-employed tailors in Nagpur district

Abstract

The tailoring industry plays a crucial role in the local economy, providing employment opportunities to a significant number of self-employed individuals in Nagpur district. However, self-employed tailors face various economic challenges that affect their productivity and financial stability. This research paper aims to explore the economic problems experienced by self-employed tailors in the district, focusing on issues such as limited access to financial resources, fluctuating demand, competition from mass-produced clothing, and inadequate support for skill development. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, the study investigates the key factors contributing to these economic difficulties. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, including better access to credit, training programs, and policy support, to improve the livelihoods of self-employed tailors. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the tailoring sector's economic struggles and offers insights for policy-makers and stakeholders to foster sustainable growth in this vital industry.
