Mumbai accounted for the highest contributors and seekers of frontline workers at 24.7 per cent and 20.9 per cent respectively.
An important thing to note is that the frontline industry remains a male-dominated sector with the 97 per cent of frontline workers comprising men and only 3 per cent women. The reason behind miniscule participation of women was attributed to lack of flexibility, long job honours and taxing nature of work.
