demand any degree of skill while performing it is entrusted to such unskilled
labour. In Construction Industry, there is enough scope for the employment of
such labour. The workers are allotted work such as cleaning, sweeping, digging,
concrete mixing, curing, material handling, etc.

from unskilled groups of labours. When particular worker performs a given job
repeatedly for a long period, he becomes proficient in that work, or
alternatively when the worker observes a particular job constantly and tries to
acquire skill of performing that particular job when opportunity comes. He thus
picks up that work as a semi-skilled worker. There are several position in
Construction Industry for semi-skilled workers. For example, concreter, glazier,
scaffolder, machine attendent, etc. They are called as Semi-skilled Labour
because no training facility is provided to these workers for such jobs.
Skilled labour
