INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, it is proposed to describe a large number of economic pursuits which neither come under the jurisdiction of the Factory Act nor under the regulation of Shops and Establishments Act. Such occupations are broadly grouped under the caption "Miscellaneous Occupations" because of their miscellaneous character. In fact, most of them occupy a prominent position in the present day economic system. Since the second World War, these occupations have shown an increase in their number as well as employment in them. The growth of population, change in the pattern of living of the people, spread of education, mobility of labour, etc., are some of the factors, which have contributed to this increase.
A sample survey was conducted of some of the selected occupations of different sizes, at the following places in the district viz., Akot, Balapur, Akola, Washim, Mangrulpir and Murtizapur in 1969. The size of the establishment was decided on factual observations. An attempt was made to make the survey adequately extensive and representative in character as the on the spot observations are. more accurate than reliance on information obtained from any other source.
The occupations chosen were as under: —
(1) Hotels and Restaurants, (2) Lodging and Boarding Houses, (3) Hair-cutting Saloons, (4) Pan-Bidi Shops, (5) Laundries, (6) Bakeries, (7) Flour Mills, (8) Manufacture of Aerated Waters, (9) Tailoring, (10) Bicycle Repairing, (11) Education and Research Services, (12) Legal Services, (13) Medical and Health Services, (14) Religious Services, (15) Domestic Services, (16) Recreation Services and (17) Public Administration.
