Abstract: Abstract This chapter makes a synopsis of the explanation of the problem from the point of sociological anthropological labour studies. Mainstream economics came out with explanation much later in a chronological date regarding the problems of the sector. The sector was much of an empirical discovery of the socio-anthropological labour studies initiated by International Labour Organization’s different missions in Africa. Latin America and the Asian countries also were showing evidences. The lessons learnt from these evidences are captured in this chapter. This is a step towards understanding the problems of the sector, and particularly its origins and dimensions, which are still determining the spread of the sector in the world. This chapter has mostly used historical evidences from the first signs of appearance of the sector in the world.
